Subject: Two more packages with lost maintainers

From: Ian Jackson <[email-masked]>

Andrew Fernandes tells me he hasn't been able to work on the project
for some time now.  He's listed as the maintainer for:
 acs                  [email-masked] (Andrew D. Fernandes)
 dlltools             [email-masked] (Andrew D. Fernandes)

He tells me that these packages were taken over by someone, but they
obviously didn't release new versions.

Would the maintainer(s) for these please step forward ?  Volunteers
welcome.

Ian.

how about removing dlltools, or movin it to contrib? AFAIK it's only 
needed to build aout shared libs and therefore not needed any more.

We still support a.out development.  Is there any reason not to do
so ?

We shouldn't move things to contrib without a good reason.
