Hi Emil,
thank you for your interest. However I'm afraid I don't understand your last
paragraph at all. Anyways, I won't be able to package jitsi alone, since I
only have some experience with java packages but don't know to package C
stuff.
In any case, there are some things that Jitsi should/could/must do itself to
make a native package for Debian/Fedora/OpenSuse doable. I've opened jira
issues for those and linked them from an umbrella issue:
http://java.net/jira/browse/JITSI-996
We can continue to discuss the items separately in those issues.
