Well, to be fair, I was waiting for an action on your side :) The last
I remember was that you wanted to do some code cleanup _before_
attempting an integration as a sub-module into python-debian, which
was what I initially proposed when I got in touch in you. But that
not really relevant, it is also very well possible that we
misunderstood each other :)
If you are ready to integrate the code now, you are still welcome!

What we (python-debian) would need to start is an API proposal, that
will become a sub-module of debian_bundle, as the other parts of
python-debian. Then, I can go through the API and see whether there is
a margin for more "synergy" with other components of python-debian.
Finally, the same can be done for the implementation of the API, I
guess that there is some code that you implement that is implemented
also somewhere in python-debian, and that can then be factorized.

On the contrary, thanks for the Cc.
