Hey Roderick! I'm interested in getting this package into the archive
too, so I'd be glad to help out and be the Debian maintainer,
especially with such an obviously engaged upstream. :)
I've created a repo in collab-maint (will show up at
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/refind.git eventually),
and I'm currently working on getting your packaging ported over so I
can evaluate what needs to change for Debian. It's probably worth
taking a look at how "grub" and "lilo" handle the install stuff so we
can mimic.
