John Marino fea0b1b0ca textproc/dblatex: Fix failure to invoke, reset maintainer
The shebang "env python" won't work.  Normally shebangfix would be used
to fix this, but dblatex is actually built so we need to use sed in the
post-install target to adjust it.

While here, reset the maintainer.  This PR is the fourth consecutive
timeout.  Also clean up the port.

Dblatex started as a DB2LaTeX clone. So, why this project? The purpose
is a bit different on these points:
(1) The project is end-user oriented, that is, it tries to hide as much
as possible the latex compiling stuff by providing a single clean
script to produce directly DVI, PostScript and PDF output.
(2) The actual output rendering is done not only by the XSL stylesheets
transformation, but also by a dedicated LaTeX package. The purpose is
to allow a deep LaTeX customisation without changing the XSL
stylesheets.
(3) Post-processing is done by Python, to make publication faster,
convert the images if needed, and do the whole compilation.
