But please discuss any violations you intend to commit in debian-policy.
I think a policy that is not set in stone is not useful. Ian Jackson
proposed recently, IIRC, that if any package is not policy-compliant
it is either a bug in the package, or a bug in policy, and it should
be filed appropriately.

Well I use this type of app all the time so I figured hey why not.  Plus it
seemed a simple enough program to do for my first package.  But alas i'm not
a programer if anyone wants to help maintain it and wants to kick me off as
maintainer I wouldn't mind a bit.

Policy is not set in stone.  There are times when it makes little
sense.   I say make a console version, then make a X package.  The X
version can have a gtk and/or Xlib version.  Are you also going to help
him maintain the upstream source now that he is away?  I thought about
this back in March, but I rarley if ever use the app.
