You could think of it as rawrite for the Mac, I reckon.Should I send
this request to ftp-master then?

It sounds a like this script is in the same situation as rawrite.  I'd
say it should be included in the same location as rawrite, i.e.
debian/tools/

IMO,

Is the software that would be in the Debian archives itself free
software, disregarding its dependency on non-free software?  If so, I
don't see what the problem would be with distributing it. (However, I
don't speak for the ftp-masters, who are presumably the ones who would
ultimately decide).
