Sounds really good to me. The newer versions (0.9.x+) have some CLI
install tools and just require a build cycle for the UI using ant,
otherwise it's pretty much the same process as before for installing
it.
I'd love to help in any way I can -- my packaging efforts haven't been
that successful.
Also, REMITT 0.5.0 is available for packaging (it's much like
FreeSHIM, just that it doesn't have any proprietary components) if
you're interested.

I'll try to get that done this weekend.

Sure. I have a new driver that I've been working on (courtesy of the
GNUmed project) so I might release an updated version then, otherwise
I'll just amend the build process and release an "interim" point
release with the separate packaging.
