That is certainly not all that matters. If every script anyone tried to write was included in Debian, Debian would collapse under its own weight. I find it hard to believe any 340 line script would merit its own package. I think it would be much more worthwhile to try to get it added to an existing package, such as one of the command-line players. -- I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis.
