Yes, that's the package I've been using for some time :-)

I intend on coordinating with them (first contact mail sent). I'll start 
from their package, make it Debian policy compliant if it's not already, 
and see with them what works best between basically the two options you 
suggest. There should be no technical reason to keep two distinct 
packages in the end.

Kind regards, Thibaut.
