No i'm not a DD, but i'd like to have the batman-advanced in Debian so
i started to package it. I'd be grateful if you can help me to
package, upload, or maintain it, just as you want. :D

BATMAN 0.2/0.3 is different from batman-advanced. I know that you maintain
the BATMAN, but BATMAN-advanced is operating on layer 2 and
implemented as a kernel module and has nothing to do with BATMAN
0.2/0.3-beta/bmx (except the algorithm ;).
BTW, there will be a new version very very soon ... so get ready to
update. :D

Sure, it'd be a pleasure.

Stable in the sense that it will only receive security fixes? I would
not say so for BATMAN-advanced, but for batman-0.2 or the upcoming
batman-0.3 ...

by the way, i hope we will meet at WCW 2008 [1] so we can discuss these 
things face to face ... :)
