Saïvann and Jeremy, thank you very much for doing this awkward task of
packaging these drivers. Debianizing the Brother drivers in a
distribution-friendly way was much more complex than debianizing a
typical free software application. So you have learned already a lot to
get MOTU already with these packages. I liked very much sponsoring the
upload of your packages and supporting your effort.

The original drivers are really not well designed for being shipped with
a distro, and this made me adding several points to my driver design
guidelines at OpenPrinting:

foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/WritingAndPackagingPrinterDrivers

Saïvann, Jeremy, would you also like to make distribution-independent,
LSB-based packages of the Brother drivers? These would be uploaded onto
the OpenPrinting server and then arbitrary (LSB-compliant) distros can
automatically download them when a Brother printer gets discovered.
