Okay, but can't it be supported as a "legacy" package? Once Lenny goes beyond support (12 months after squeeze release), then how will anyone be able to install it via apt-get / aptitude in a sane way?
Bring it across, but put a nice little disclaimer (as per above) that the package is no longer supported, but also include that it is provided "as is" for those that _may_ still need it for some reason or another.
