I've already offered my assistance to them and have been handling the
Debian packaging of their compiler betas for quite some time.  Please
repeat my request to aid them in any way I can.

FYI, I have given them the diffs to the compiler packages that I've
converted and have given them a minor tutorial in packaging.  If possible,
I'd like to be the primary contact for their efforts on the Alphas since I
am so familiar with their efforts so far.

Thanks!
