As SF is the service running a Free Software platform, that usually
is may choice (with hg instead of git, but that is just my preferance).

Very cool! Then it is your choice, I'm just trying to help you 
come to a good decision.

I certainly is a good idea to communicate with the Debian package maintainers.
You can write problem reports in their trackers or contact them right away.
Everytime you believe something is interesting for them:

As Igor is missing in action, I believe we should keep the name
and just continue as the original. I mean, if he comes back, he is very 
welcome and we could still change the name. From my point of view, this is 
the legitimate continuation.
