I also maintain the NixOS package. The Android version is available on F-Droid. I've already packaged it for Debian [1], but I need a sponsor and could use some advice on how best to deal with some of the remaining complaints from lintian :) I'll upload a source package to mentors.debian.net after I release v1.1.0 in a few days.
