Peter Busser is THE Adamantix guy.  I have suggested to him that he maintain 
such packages in Debian, but he does not seem interested.

Yes.  I made some RSBAC kernel-patch packages for Debian once, but never

no-one wants to test a package you have to assume that there is not much 
interest in using it either...
