I am looking for a sponsor for my package "pict".
* Package name: pict
* Version: 4.1.0-1
* Upstream Authors: Benjamin C. Pierce <pierce AT cs.indiana.edu>
David N. Turner
* URL:
http://altair.dcs.elf.stuba.sk/~kosik/debian/pool/main/p/pict/pict_4.1.0-1.dsc
* Description: Compiler of the Pict programming language
Pict is a programming language in the ML tradition,
formed by adding high-level derived forms and powerful
static type system to a tiny core language. The core,
Milner's pi-calculus, is becoming popular as a theoretical
foundation for a broad class of concurrent applications.
The goal in Pict is to identify and support idioms that
arise naturally when these primitives are used to build
working programs---idioms such as basic data structures,
protocols for returning results, higher-order programming,
selective communication, and concurrent objects. The type
system integrates a number of features found in recent work
on theoretical foundations for typed object-oriented languages:
higher-order polymorphism, simple recursive data-types, subtyping,
and a useful partial type inference algorithm.
The package is lintian clean.
The package is not linda clean

because
#256900: ocaml: Ocaml compiled programs cannot be stripped, hence either
don't work or violate policy

It is possible to build the package in the pbuilder environment.
Although the software exists already for some time, it was not yet
packaged for Debian.
