Neither of these is available in Debian, so please file two "Intent To
Package" (ITP) bugs, create the packages and get them uploaded to
Debian via a sponsor. More information about that in the links below:

> 2. A trash program: GNOME and KDE come with trash/recycle bins but ROX pinboard does not. I've had difficulty getting libtrash to work properly. Again, a trash/recycle bin is a feature that the heavyweight distros have that I think can be implemented in a lightweight package. Again, this is something that users of all Debian-based distros would be interested in.
If there exists software to do this, please file ITP bugs for the
relevant software, create the packages and get them uploaded to Debian
via a sponsor.
If the software doesn't exist yet, you will need to create it or find
someone to create it for you before performing the above steps.

Since you are producing a Debian derivative you might be interested in
the activities of the Debian derivatives group:
