In case folks would like to collaborate, I have pushed a new branch
"vuze4.8" to the git repository (see the PTS page [1] for URLs). The
package is is building and running, but still needs some work.
Specifically, Adrian's debian/update-disable patch needs some attention
before it will apply against the new upstream version. Once that patch
applies, the package can be uploaded to experimental.

Thanks,
tony
