Hi, could someone approve this package split?

I don't think there's anything complicated about this request - it's 
just splitting and renaming an existing package. There shouldn't be any 
problems with the new packages (but if there are, I'll fix them - I've 
been maintaining this package for several years now).

[ I originally submitted this request in Sep 2012, but after six months 
it got automatically deleted, so I'm hoping to avoid that happening 
again: see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=685998 ]

Thanks,
