Concerning my own applications (they use a free licence), really, it is
better not to engage any integration into Debian: it is not worth the
effort nor for me, my users and the distribution. You cannot integrate
an application that is use by something like ten people, including the
developer. Also, some of them use Open Suze …
Concerning proprietary applications, I am afraid editors are not really
willing to collaborate. Clearly, they want to to everything by their self.
Best regards.
