There is an alternative - if Benoît does not want to deal with Extras,
and others feel that the packages he was packaging are vital, someone
else can take over as "official" packager and deal with all the stuff he
doesn't want to. It's possible to separate packaging & development.

It is free software after all.

Cheers,
Dave.
