Is there *any* point on packaging this nginx fork this early?

We don't yet know the bus factor (i.e. uptake of the fork, size of core team, 
etc) of this fork yet.  We don't know how the dynamics with the F5-controlled 
ngnix project will play out re. cross-merges, security issues (which are very 
likely to be the same for both projects for quite a while given the shared 
code), etc.

If nginx and freenginx diverge too much on functionality, it might make sense 
to have both in Debian.  If they do not, we more likely should stick with 
either one, but not both (and it is way too early to even guess which one would 
make sense to stick to)...

There are other potential issues as well, it is best to wait a couple months at 
the very least.
