I don't have much time for this now.
limesurvey still requires a lot of work to be included in main. if you
are ready to help, here are some areas of interest:
- copyright should be checked more closely (maybe some non-DFSG
included libs should be removed)
- external libs should be used if already packaged
- test, test, test

If you want, you can use the svn repository and correct all these.
