Applied (with G-exps, and a description with full sentences). Thank you.

Note that home page does not exist. Do you have an idea about
a replacement for it?

There hasn't been a release since at least Debian Sarge [1, 2].

Sadly no.  I presume the project has been abandoned as it has not
received an update in a long time.  Maybe since at least Debian Sarge
[1, 2].

I looked at some packages from other distributions and they still have a
reference to the original home-page and source the package from, as Arch
has done, from fedoraproject.org.  Which is why I also sourced the
package from too. 

I don't know of a fork that is currently extending the code either.


Kind regards
Simon
