Setting something up for packages that are not in Debian main, but are 
useful for use (e.g. GFDL stuff) is on my todo list. This software looks 
useful and unpervasive, so it's a good candidate to put in there. But 
then I'm counting on you to maintain and support it for as long as we 
carry it separately from Debian.

If you agree to that, please provide a source package (or its debian 
directory, so we can keep it in VCS like the rest, e.g. [1]).
