[needs-packaging] Nvu's unofficial bug-fix release

NVU in Ubuntu and Debian should be replaced with Kompozer, as NVU is not mainained by upstream developers more than one year and isn't planing to be maintained - main developer in his blog told:

'For those who did not get the message :Nvu 1.0 is - for me - a dead end. Just like Seamonkey was left to the community, I am glad to leave Nvu 1.0 codebase to Kazé who started integrating bug fixes but I remind him that Nvu is a trademark by Linspire Inc. That's good he used a new name, Kompozer, for his fork. I just cannot work on Nvu 1.0 and Mozilla Composer, its xulrunner-based successor at the same time.'

(see http://glazman.org/weblog/dotclear/index.php?2006/09/17/2081-mozilla-composer-features )

So, why to keep buggy and not maintained software in Ubuntu, when there is maintained version and main nvu developer is glad to leave Nvu developing to Kompozer's developers ?

I think importance of this bug should be increased, as NVU is abandoned by upstream and also removed from debian archive, look at http://bugs.debian.org/393065
