You mean to include it in Woody, don't you?

I already have a local bladeenc package myself, it wasn't long ago when I
asked about this same package here, and well, it seems there's a problem
with this kind of software. Have a look at the WNPP pages in the Debian
pages (developer section, "help wanted" link). There's an issue with a
patent, or whatever that makes this unpkgeable. Otherwise, it would be in
potato already.
