That is nice.

Good luck for solving the other problems raised in that thread and finding a
sponsor.  Debian has thousands of packages.  Each of them has an imprint on our
ecosystem.  Consider for instance that if one day you suddenly can not
contribute anymore, somebody else will need to care of the package.  Summed
together, even removals takes time.

In the future, Debian wants to set up a personal package archive system like in
Ubuntu.  That would be an ideal first stage for packages like yours, where they
can demonstrate they have an audience, before entering the main distribution.

This said, it is good to pick a unique name in advance, and "repagen"
illustrates well the point of the package.  It looks like that there
is a trademarked cosmetic of the same name, but fields of use are different
enough.  Or pehraps unreadable passwords are bad for the skin in the long term ;)
