        Ok, I agree with the co-maintainance (Javier is welcome to
        partecipate of course).

        I propose this strategy:

        1) the NEW queue is really long, so let's upload something NOW,
           even today

        2) Then let's create a repository where we can manage the debian
           dir (so that we can both apply modifications and merge our
           "debianizations"): there are a small number of things that
           can be make the pkg I made better.. and I am sure that also
           you have nice modifications to add. 

        3) Upload the co-mainteined package

        Point 1) is just to speed-up the wxmaxima inclusions into
        Debian. My pkg should be in a quite good shape, and is almost
        ready to upload. Check them (I uploaded on p.d.o also the
        sources). If you have an recent version, I have no problem to
        upload your one and merge our customization later.

        My only concern is "let's do it, and quickly (compatible with
        debian quality concepts)".

        I did my pkg using cdbs and I would like to keep it with cdbs,
        for a number of reasons.

        Let me know what you think about it.

        Ciao Ciao

        Marco
