I will work on preparing a package of alltray to include in
experimental. Mike, we'll check this out together.

The download is actually available on the last page of the alltray
downloads [1].
Mike, do you think it is possible to bump it on the first download page?
As for the package not being uploaded to the Debian repository, I have
already sent a sponsorship request on Debian mentors two weeks ago. I
was waiting for two weeks to pass before sending a new one.
I have just sent a new request [2].
Hopefully, it will get reviewed/sponsored soon.
Cheers,
