Hello, I'm following up on any interest in packaging kmonad for Debian?
I am a user of kmonad but not knowledgable enough about haskell to
package it.
This keyboard remapping tool is very useful for complex uses and also
for Emacs - adding Sean Whitton, emacs developer and I see Debian maintainer of
haskell-readline and other haskell packages.
