Depends on whether the regular repo will accept the debain packaging ;-)
I expect so; after all, the RPM stuff is already there.

I'm putting the FUSE stuff into its own package since it's a separate
service and everything. However, usb can't be split out, since it's
directly referred to from libow.
NB: The library name is libow.so.0.0.0. That is unrelated to packaging
and needs to be fixed urgently -- a release should basically NEVER have
a broken shared library soname like that.

libow.so is just half a MByte (plus a tenth of that for libusb). That's
not enough to split up every script language support package into two,
I'd suspect -- the Debian FTP maintainers dont like package soup.
I still need to deal with ca. 346178 warnings from Debian's two package
checkers :-/ and of course send a couple of semi-related patches --
for instance, $mandir is NOT /usr/man on any modern Linux system.
