Do you read debian-users? There is a thread going with a couple of post.
Someone wants to pack it, and we have to sort out whether is going to be a
patched fileutils (I would like that) or an add-on color-ls package (yasp == 
yet another small package).

Before people jump at my throat: the patched ls is fine, I've been using it
for I don't know how long (18 months maybe). If you don't give it a
command-line option, it is as monochrome as it's unpatched collegue.
