Well, people can install apps manually anyway, and it up to them what.
As long as we do not package and redistribute problematic stuff.

Well, I cannot fully commit yet, but it's looking good. I am looking to
do it within the scope of my job otherwise I cannot promise having time
for it yet. This means that it should be good enough for our project to
use.

Yes, I can imagine that. The same holds for me.

Yeah, we need a git repo. I already feel "dirty" meddling with package
stuff just in some directory on my harddisk... unversioned.
I suggest I set one up, you import your original 2.0.3 work, and I
update it with the 3.0.2 work. As a result, you can see what I have
fixed and what still needs to be done. For 4.x we need to do this
again, but we might upload 3.0.2 to experimental soon.

I think so. I ope we can convince them beforehand to clean the source
up a bit. All these messy excutable bits and what not.

I was looking for that info, couldn't find it, so I let the watch-file
be in my packages.

Already set that locally.

Ok, but I think we should either strip 3rd-party and make sure
everything is in Debian separately. Or... if they made modifications to
stuff in 3rd-party (which is not cool), we need to think of a better solution.
I can resume work on this possibly next Sunday or Tuesday.
