It seems that the source package is now available in universe.
Is it possible to add it to the deb universe repository?

You can still find a working deb for feisty at:
http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=transmission

I've actually asked the maintainer of getdeb why he didn't contribute his packages to the universe. But he said he did, but nobody bothered to 'validate' his packages, so he gave up.

I'm not entirely sure why or what, so I'm going to refrain from comments about the MOTU. I just hope they can get their act together. There seem to be people submitting packages that are not even looked into. Which is disturbing, since there are many requested packages.
