thanks for doing so. It seems the background work is not as visible as
if you would maintain the package in a team VCS.

Yes, we are definitely here to help. I'd recommend joining the Debian
Science team on alioth.debian.org and commit your packaging to VCS
(either Git or SVN) as described in the team policy[1]. It should not
be that hard to find a sponsor if you write an e-mail to
debian-science@lists.debian.org and there is also my offer to sponsor
packages listed on the science tasks pages (which is now the case[2] since
I have just added it :-)) in the "Sponsering of Blends" effort[3].
Hope these hints might be helpful to you
Andreas.
