Ok, in case Thomas is really short of time here is [1] my late (well,
midnightly prepared ;-) debian/ directory for the new source package of ara.
I named the two binary packages as ara and xara-gtk (since not sure if
someone can write a qt gui for it ;-), but for the time being I left the
executable brought by the xara-gtk package as xara.
If Thomas keeps being busy I hope some official DD proof-reads the files and
sponsor the package, since I'm not an official one.

hope that helps.
