Good luck ;) Go ahead if you are going to work on it with the upstream
and you can someone to sponsor your uploads.

Developing this package will not need extensive internet access.
However uploading, and keeping your own packages up to date (which is
needed if you are compiling and uploading debian packages) could be a
problem. It's up to you.

He likes to include the debian specific files in his releases, so he
does a non public "prerelease" for debian to make the needed changes
than I shall not upload that into the archives before he does the real
release, after that I can upload. According to debian policies I
should use the upstream's orig.tar.gz as orig.tar.gz but that is
changed by then, so I have to redo things, and send the changes, and
ahhhh. I could not work out this with him, he insisted that this
procedure works fine with red hat therefore it should with debian.
That's basicly the whole story.
