 You could have a point there. I was specifically mentioning this  
particular package which is not the typical piece of software which is  
to be included in debian. I think you took my words a little out of  
context.
 I would like and need to learn packaging some software for Debian,  
and something already packaged does seem like a good place to start.  
The question there is, can it go into Debian?
