Hi Michael,

somehow your mails seem not reach the mailing list archive :-(

May be there is no real need to check and understand king since I due to
your explanation I now understood that the projects you are requesting
for packaging are actually separate projects delivered in separate
tarballs and thus not part of the king source (except I missed
something).

Besides my remarks I made this morning concerning the name of this
project I wonder whether you would like to learn some packaging in a
Mentoring of the Month project[1].  My feeling is that it is quite a
simple package you could design by copying large chunks from suitename
which I finalised and uploaded to the Debian new queue.  You could
easily learn how to craft Debian packages and the example seems to be a
good candidate.

As said today morning:  Feel free to contact the authors to add
release tags.  For the moment I have uploaded the package to
the Debian new queue.  All relevant information is displayed on
our Debian Med task page[2].

Feel free to ask if you have any remaining questions.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
