You can only upload to master.debian.org if you have signed the
packages (eg. built them with dpkg-buildpackage) and you are a Debian
maintainer (your key has been added to the Debian keyring). This is
Debian's way of preventing untrusted people from uploading Trojans.
Information on how to become a Debian maintainer is at:
http://www.debian.org/devel/
It's a small bit of a hassle (you need to get your key signed by
another maintainer, in person) - and somebody from the new-maintainer
team will phone you to talk with you in person. The last I heard
though, the new-maintainer team was deluged with new applications, so
don't expect a quick turnaround. It probably wouldn't hurt to send in
an application as soon as possible.
God knows I could use some help on the port. :-)

When I get some time, I'll compile these and upload them. I'm going
to do a new gcc first though.
It would be nice if we had an autobuilder working
(eg. wanna-build/buildd) - that way, we wouldn't have to manually
build packages that compiled cleanly.

I actually uploaded these a few days ago - but they are still sitting
in the Incoming queue on nonus.debian.org. I'm not sure why it's
taking so long to process them. I'll make some noise.
