I have a bit of experience with DEB packaging, and would like to volunteer to maintain packaging compatible with Debian and Ubuntu.
When I have time, hopefully in the next two weeks, I'll try to get an up-to-date repository set up on Alioth (debian repo server). I currently have a guest account there, for some .NET packaging work I did earlier. Typically Debian likes to maintain their own repo's for the packaging (/debian directory), from which upstream tarballs are imported. Once working we can request a sync with Ubuntu. And perhaps a PPA can go up also. Whoever has packaging experience and would like to assist please raise your hand. I might run in to some problems that I could use a hand with.
