Debian has an updater that will update *the whole system*. It's called
"dpkg". Please don't use that as an argument in favour of providing a
downloader.

I agree with what's been said before: we should not use downloader-type
packages to get free software into Debian. If the upstream software is a
bitch to build, then the upstream build system should be fixed. It's
free software, you know...

requires you to mail a form in triplicate, you can mail it just once,
add a voucher, and save on postage.
