* Package name    : sstp-client

  Description     : Connect to a Microsoft Windows 2008 server using SSTP VPN

A client implementation of Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP) for
Linux / Mac OS-X that allows remote access via SSTP VPN to Microsoft
Windows 2008 Server. It does so by tunneling PPP data over SSL.

The latest source code repository already have a debian/control file that
passes most of the lintian checks. You can use subversion to check out the
code from here:

svn co https://sstp-client.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/sstp-client/trunk sstp-client

Project was already adapted into macports and is available on Mac OS-X 10.7, I have
an increasing number of users that like the have this project put into Ubuntu.

Dear,

Please accept my apologies I do not intend to invade your privacy, I
wrote to you earlier, but no answer, in my first post I told you about
my late client who bears the same surname with you, I received
several letters from the bank, where he made a deposit of 10.4 million
dollars before his death, the bank asked me to provide his next of
kin or any of his relatives, who will stand for this claim, otherwise
it will be confiscated by the bank due to lack of claims from his
relatives hence I contacted you to present you as is beneficiary since
you have the same last name with him. After your reply I shall give
you the details and procedures of this transaction, waiting your
reply.

Regards,
Sylvester Fred

There are two paths here:

(A) find someone willing to maintain the package in Debian, preferably a
Debian Developer or a Debian Maintainer

(B) agree to maintain the package yourself in Debian. Then you need to
find someone (a sponsor) who will review the package and upload it to
Debian on your behalf. This can happen inside a team (if there's a team
where those packages are a good fit), or outside, using the
http://mentors.debian.net/ service. The full process is described on
https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers/ .

(I ran into this bug during a routine QA task so I don't have any
particular interest in SSTP, and I have very limited time for Debian
currently, so I'm not a good candidate to be that sponsor)

Yes, that's a good idea
