Thanks - I moved it to the debian namespace.  I'm happy to sponsor
upload, although some feedback:

- Consider using gbp.conf dist=DEP14, sign-tags=True,
  and upstream-vcs-tag=v%(version%~%-)s

- Consider simplifying override_dh_auto_clean by using
  execute_before_dh_auto_clean.

- Consider adding a Build-Profiles: <!noguile> to the binary package.

- I would drop debian/.gitignore for tag2upload compatibility.

- Upstream copyright situation is unclear, please file a bug asking for
  clarification.  Is the intent GPL-3+ (from LICENSE file) or LGPL-3+
  (from the only real source code file ice-9/colorized.scm)?

- Instead of faking copyright notices for authors, I would put those
  names in a comment.  There is no real clear policy on this though,
  sometimes ftp-masters has asked to add copyright notices for people
  who are clearly authors but where upstream doesn't contain a copyright
  notice.  I would use something like this:

 ice-9/colorized.scm
