OK, so can I consider you be our the official liaison with debian?

Yes. And it would also require us to do all the testing the ports/packcages maintainers do, which is also almost impossible given the current resources. > But it could be good to mention the existence of the official > packages, where to find them etc. Either on the website or in the > sources (or both).

Yes, this is a good idea, I'll add the text for debian if you sent it to me both in git and the site.
