This package apparently shares functionality with the redshift package
already in Debian. Neither of the packages expose the common
functionality (computing sun rise) as a library for others to use. Would
it be possible for you to provide a shared library for others to rely
on? That could avoid further duplication.

Are there more tools providing this functionality?
