Yes, I saw that lintian warning, I didn't think it mattered so much, since I
couldn't even find what the current version is...

I thought I already put netpbm as a dependency... Oh I see I put it as a
recommendation... *changed*
I'm still keeping sox as a recommendation, its only needed for the actual
encode.

It can make a shell scripts, I'll add that too...

Yes, I did that, I also put an RFS debian-kde and debian-qt-kde, but no luck
yet. (1 week... probably no chance at this point.)
Gonna have to add here, are you a DD? And is there any chance you can sponsor
