Norbert is primarily responsible for TeXlive, but he's currently mostly
offline.  Therefore I'll give a short answer:

Generally this option is the one we prefer, at least if there's an
active maintainer for the existing package, which obviously is the case
here.  We'd be glad if you uploaded such a packge (I didn't check the
dependencies myself, be careful), and I'm sure Norbert will upload a
texlive with the needed changes in a couple of days, so that we can
still hope to get it into etch.
