[dev] Debian packages for a few modules

Great! A few initial nits, just because in packaging it could become 
important:

- it's sork, not snok, though that made me laugh out loud
- registry, not registery.

That would be fabulous - let me or jon@horde.org know if you want a CVS 
account.

Hmm. That's going to be pretty rough performance-wise. What about if we had 
a command-line PHP script to add/remove entries? (I'm talking about HEAD, 
here, where the registry is a much simpler config file now).

Not without knowing the actual error.

Not sure what the problem exactly is? What are you fixing?
