I did some work on the others during the last weekend, but there is still a
huge amount of work to be done (lacking descriptions and dependencies in
debian/control, lacking patches for doc files licensing terms in
debian/copyright, general QA work like compiling and testing the packages,
etc). I will try to do progress during the next weekend but I am afraid it
will be too much work for me alone. Contributions are welcome.
