Hmm, ok. Not sure what situations such users would need to see it in.
The upstream tarball should contain the version number in the
filename, so they would have the version number at manual install

OpenJDK is now available in Debian, so you could concievably package
some of your software for Debian. The Firefox extension could be
interesting for some users too.
