Absolutely!

What system would you have available? ubuntu or other debian based
Distribtutions would work fine for me as well.

Would you like to be listed as Co-Maintainer when I upload the package
to Debian?

Thanks for noticing this, will correct this before uploading.

Another issue, perhaps you can help me with this: What happens on
package upgrades with local changes? If an admin customizes the config,
do your scripts preserve local changes? I'm not too familiar with
debconf programming, but it doesn't really look like it. It seems that I
need to do some upgrade tests.
