cinepaint in debian/lenny or unstable

According to this bug report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=437837
cinepaint is not maintained anymore. Therefore it is removed
from
testing and unstable. As it supportis CMYK 16bit for me it's
essential. As
a workaround I installed ubuntu virtually, but I hope
cinepaint will
come back to testing or unstable again. Is this intended?

Regard
henry

By "not maintained anymore" I assume that the
Debian folks must mean 
that there is no Debian maintainer.  It is pretty clear to
me that 
CinePaint itself has an active maintainer.

Debian runs on many types of hardware.  It is likely that
CinePaint 
requires more testing/fixing on variations of big/little
endian 
hardware, compiled for 32 and 64-bits.

It seems pretty important to me that CinePaint be included
in Debian. 
While Debian is not the most popular version of Linux, I
think that it 
may be the most reputable and most portable distribution.

You can see on the bottom entries on the above mentioned
site, who feel 
currently responsible about this package. He wrote already
to the 
developers list.
