I don't know any. I even find that is included in TeXLive (upstream),
and I currently fail to see why (in a technical sense) it isn't included
in the Debian packages. It should be in collection-binextra, hence in
texlive-extra-utils.
I'll look into it, would it be okay if the program is available in our
TL 2009 packages, due to be uploaded late this autumn (I hope)? We
didn't intend to make any changes to TL 2007.
