This should be extremely simple to add to the rmccmt program: instead of
printing only comments, print only non-comments. If you like, I could
add this to rmccmt (of which I am the author). Since the change to
rmccmt is so small, I don't like adding a whole new program (especially
something that requires heavyweights flex and automake) to liwc.
Other than that, I think it is suitable to package as a separate .deb.
It tends not to be a good idea to combine several upstream programs into
a single .deb.
