Hi Benjamin.

welcome! your help is fully appreciated.

a packaging repo [1] has been created quite some time ago. there has
never been a package release, as 2.3.* does not work well wihout mpir.
two days ago, i updated the repo to flint 2.4.3...

i think git is the right choice to handle packaging efforts. please
consider joining the debian-science team. this will grant you write
permissions to the packaging repositories. feel free to push to [1].

thanks
felix
