Hmm... xforms0.86 is .deb only. I think having a source package would be preferable, yes. It will make future releases much easier. Perhaps you can ask Heiko Schlittermann for the source he used to create the xforms0.86 .deb? That would save you some work.

xforms0.86 package insanity
From the bug reprts on the xforms0.86 package, I've been able to ascertain the following: xforms0.86 currently depends on elf-x11r6, a virtual package that is now obsolete. xforms0.86 is libc5, and available in binary form only. xforms0.88 is available, and is distributed compiled for libc6. The maintainer for xforms0.86 seems to have disappeared. What's going on with xforms0.86? There are new packages (xmysqladmin) that are appearing that depend on it! But xforms0.86 cannot be installed without a --force. I think this more than warrants a non-maintainer upload.. -- Brought to you by the letters A and G and the number 19. Mmm..

If xforms 0.88 is packaged, it will become a new package named xforms0.88. Whoever packages it will simply be the maintainer of that package.
