FWIW, It will not always take 3 years.

Until Andrew Straw has found a sponsor, you can use the work Andrew has
done to build a Debian package for dfu-programmer yourself and set up a
tuxdroid-repository where you can download it. There is no need to do
duplicated work.

I have used Andrew's work to build a Debian-package for dfu-programmer
myself, works without a problem:

 pts/10  jan ~$ dpkg -s dfu-programmer
Package: dfu-programmer
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: devel
Installed-Size: 48
Maintainer: Andrew Straw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Architecture: i386
Version: 0.4.0-1
Depends: libusb-0.1-4
Description: device firmware update (DFU) based USB programmer for Atmel chips
 A linux based command-line programmer for Atmel chips with a USB
 bootloader supporting in system programming.
 .
 This is a mostly Device Firmware Update (DFU) 1.0 compliant
 user-space application. This program was created because the Atmel
 FLIP program for flashing devices does not run on Linux and because
 standard DFU loaders do not work for Atmel chips.
