No problem here. :)

That's great.

I haven't thoroughly tested or looked at the package, but it looks
fairly sane. I would say let's start with that and then others can
probably join in to improve it.
Getting it out of the WNPP queue would certainly help with that, in my
opinion.
One thing I keep thinking about, is that the stuff detailed in the
README.Debian should probably be implemented as a postinst script: we
could detect whether to configure nginx or apache, have a soft
(recommends) dependency on psql (because we want to allow external db
servers) and use dbconfig-common to configure that database.
But again, this can be done later, shipping the code in a debian package
is a good start.

So it seems both tickets shouldn't be considered a show-stopper for
inclusion in Debian. 847 has a patch and 848 should simply be included
in the copyright file.
I would say give it a try, just upload the package with the
modifications to the copyright file and see where it leads us!
