In principle, I have a compatible display and would be willing to maintain the 
package. There are only two problems:
I first have to figure out if it still works (this errorless error message I'm 
getting atm made me doubt it) and then have to find out how to build debian 
packages. But that is something on which I should find thousands of 
tutorials, so maybe I can produce a working package. I'll see tomorrow. :)
