I would say not, but that is mainly because Debian package add a layer
of QA and maintenance as well.  I maintain some upcoming libs in a local
Subversion repositor, I could move them to alioth already so people can
have a peek inside. However, all my packages use the CDBS class that
isn't included in any other package, so it's not buildable unless you
have my ~/tmp/cdbs :) I have to hold off a bit.
Next to that, it isn't finished, I want to have documentation generation
working right, it's messy now and the class is broken.
