Have you tried building the packages yourself on your own machine?

At this point, a package has been requested ( http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=341561 ), so some interested Debian Developer or DD-wannabe may latch on to it soon. Alternatively, if you need this for a business and can justify the expense, you may want to see if you can hire someone experienced in packaging software for Debian to package it up for you. -Roberto -- Roberto C.
