As you are neither a programmer in the relevant language, a user of the software, or a Debian developer, are you certain you wish to package this software? Not being a DD is a fairly minor detail - I have filed ITPs myself without being a developer - but I believe it is generally a good idea to use software -before- packaging it... Unusable packages do far more harm than good, and I can see how this could easily become such a case. Just a suggestion... - Keegan
