I remembered, but I must say that I can't quite grasp what this program can 
do...., so I did not answer your first mail .... Sorry

The debian-edu project is getting quite huge, and we try to include as few 
custom packages as possible. To even be considered as a potential program for 
debian-edu, the program must be in debian mainstream. How to get inside 
debian, I can't tell you, but I'll bet someone else on this list can give you 
a point in the right direction. 
There are probably more information over at http://www.debian.org/devel/
