some time ago there was someone who wanted to do the GMT package, i told him i
had done some packaging before, but since i was not developper, it was only for
me (same as you i think ...) are you debian developper ? if yes perhaps you
could take the package. In any case, perhaps you should send a mail to
debian-devel announcing your problem, where you put the package, and so on.
If you are not developper, i would gladly take the package. If it is ok with
you.
