Note that I would strongly discourage Debian from distributing the library 
version of Gmsh and the Python and Java bindings for now. This gives the false 
idea to users that we actually support an API, which we do not (yet). 
Distributing the library and possibly the bindings will be a good idea once a 
stable and document API is ready.

See the end of my presentation at the last Gmsh workshop:
