Jonas Smedegaard is not credited in the changelog at all, and the
wnpp package lists it as orphaned. (Bug #107808) The developer
information page for the diskless package also lists it as orphaned
(http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/diskless.html)
He is listed as the maintainer for lessdisks, which is a completely
different package than diskless. Maybe this is what you're thinking
of? I'll add him to the cc line and give him a chance to comment.

I think it must have been lessdisks you were talking about.
