I can't speak for anyone else.  But if I do make an package it would be
for RedHat and not debian.  I understand there are converters to convert
to/from RedHat and Debian packages.  Not sure if they work well or not.

So, I might eventually release an RPM, and if so, we might be able to 
convert it to a DEB if you want...

No time frame though...  Right now I'm still trying to make an official
tarball ;)

harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
