I'd be happy with whatever outcome there will be (either make the program public or be merged into dpkg* pkg) but I do agree that this perl module and its companion tool seem better fitting into the dpkg* official packages. Patrick: what are your feelings about this merge? Guillem: what are the steps needed to merge this package into some dpkg one?
