Meaning, maintaining oss4 packages?

Currently I stay in contact to the debian maintainer as the dkms package
works fine but not the standalone kernel package. I have a self
maintained version already on my server reenabling it. Nevertheless it
is not optimal.

First the second one. I seen in debian more and more working interfaces
removed or actively destroyed. OSS(4) is one of them. It work fine until
one maintainer not liking OSS removes it from support (Like recently
done in wine).

About point a, I think, that is doable to some extents. As I mentioned
before in one mail, my time is (like time of most here, I think)
limited. But I already maintain some stuff parallel to debian as debian
destroyed it.

Only problem I see currently, my contribution to geeqie (upstream)
suffer a bit..

Regards
