Thanks for your interest in Debian.
I downloaded your files but they aren't lintian compliant and seem to be
corrupted. Could you correct this ?

Also, do you plan to become a Debian developer and look for a sponsor or is it
just a package you hand us ? Wouls you like to see it in the oficial Debian
distribution ? If the latter, please file a RFP against the pseudo-package
wnpp (see http://bugs.debian.org/wnpp). When your package is OK, I'd be happy
to maintain it.
Cheers,
Eric.
