Incidentally, your upstream was on #debian-devel the other day, a few
hours after your ITP, asking if anyone would be interested in packaging
his software. We pointed him to your ITP, and he was a bit surprised
you hadn't contacted him. He was definitely happy that packages were in
progress, though.
So just a quick note to all: be sure to contact the upstream author of
people whose software you're packaging! It's the polite thing to do.
Sometimes they may not want their software to be widely distributed
until it's out of beta, or maybe they'd just like to know who's
redistributing it.
