I can't seem to find any traces of a deb even though the Beaver download
page[0] says that binaries exist for Ubuntu and Debian (It exists for
neither), but I'll definitely look into making you a good deb; I've been
looking for a small project I can maintain (And hopefully find a sponsor
and get into the repositories), and Beaver looks like just the right
fit.
I have appointments to keep this weekend, so if I get any work done it
will be on Sunday.
Feel free to keep in contact with me, my contacts are on my website[1]
or e-mail me off-list.
