I have been in contact with Juergen from blackdown, but at that stage
the debs weren't near finished. I will contact him soon, now that they
are useful (though not compliant)
what holds me from applying as an "official" maintainer is the fact that
my free time is not evenly distributed, and not predictable either.
besides, I don't understand half of the debian/rules file yet ;-)

don't mind nagging them, I've always had my emails answered fast and
friendly :-)
