Where to place small packaging script



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I have a smallish script that takes the .tar file for the Altera
QuartusII toolchain and generates .deb packages (non-free,
undistributable) from that.

Now, ftp-master has asked me not to package this separately as the
metadata is similar in size to the actual package, which is a
reasoning I can follow. I'd be open to suggestions how to ship
something like that.

 - Would it make sense to have a common package with various
repackaging scripts?

 - If so, should that contain logic to rebuild the packages when the
packaging scripts are updated (that would be useful in my case, as the
file list may need to be updated, and I'm not quite happy with the
package split yet)?

 - Is there a package I could piggyback on, with a maintainer who
would be interested in that?

   Simon
