There is an Ubuntu wishlist bug for GDC here:
<https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/87337>

Someone called "Arthur Loiret" assigned this bug to himself, so he
should be working on it too.

I also linked it to an "upstream" Debian bug report some time ago.
Is there another Debian bug report or where did you find information
about Suresh Rajashekara working on it?
