I'd be happy to help. But I'm not at ease on this very topic. I've just
recently discovered kodi. I'm still wondering about installing it. I'd
like a fully functionnal server installation, accesed from the
webinterface only.

I have no experience at all packaging such a software. How about first
repacking kodi with Chorus2 source tree so it could quickly enter
experimental, then splitting it out into a separate package once it is
functionnal?
