What package is meant to replace thinkfinger in 11.10?

Question

My laptop has a fingerprint reader that until 11.10 I used via thinkfinger. That package is no longer in the repositories, but I assume there’s a different package meant to support fingerprint readers in thinkfinger’s place. What is the recommended fingerprint reader package? Should I just find thinkfinger on my own and use that instead?

Here’s my reader’s lsusb output:

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0483:2016 SGS Thomson Microelectronics Fingerprint Reader

I think you have the same fingerprint reader as me. My Googling turned up this: https://launchpad.net/~fingerprint/+archive/fingerprint-gui It works flawlessly for me.
