Hello,

I'd also like to see this (or an equivalent: I'm not aware of any, but
haven't looked much) in Debian, and am willing to try packaging it, but
am not sure whether it's a good idea for a non-DD,
non-security-specialist to maintain a security tool.

feel free to contact me if there are any issues with the upstream code w.r.t. packaging in Debian. I haven't packaged anything for Debian yet, so I won't be of much help in that area but I can try.

It's in Fedora, with packaging [0] that looks fairly easy to translate
to Debian (if that's legal - I don't know whether License: in a Fedora
.spec means "including this packaging");

What is the legal problem here? I think the default license for the .spec file is MIT:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#License_of_Fedora_SPEC_Files

The upstream repository (which includes the .spec file too) is licensed under GPLv2+. That's probably an inconsistency that I should fix...
