It does not look like I'll be able to get a Debian package for Misterhouse into Debian in time to be included into the next stable Debian version (v9; 'Stretch'), but I am still interested in packaging it so I will be continuing to work on it as I can.
Note that I do plan to make a public git repository specifically for the Debian packaging, likely to be called 'pkg-misterhouse' and likely pushed to alioth. More on that when it happens.
