Hi, Mario Holbe and I have created a debian package for cgiirc nearly from scratch. I've only used the long description from the initial post on this ITP.
Our current package is at <http://sandbox.fem.tu-ilmenau.de/debian/>. We've also found a debian developer, who is willing to sponsor the upload. So unless someone says something within a week, we'll try to upload the package and thus close this wnpp/itp. Elrond
