is this somehow related to Debian? Can be used on a debian system in a

ITP bugs must be filed *before* start preparing a package (ideally,
the moment you studied enough the perspective upstream project and
evaluated interesting for Debian) and not after it'sdone (like in this

didn't check, to be honest)
CCed to -mentors so you can keep the replies there.
