We do have the scripts for the existing Debian package (as well as
build scripts for Solaris packages) in the SFI cvs repository, I will
transfer them to Savannah real soon now.

While we're at it, we could convince Paul J. to check in his .spec
files for his RPM packages into CVS and have a central place for all
the packaging stuff...

OK, fair enough. ;-)  Having a `contrib' package for Debian would be
cool.  Even cooler if it could be in the official distro, since there
would be people who could help port it to the PPC.

I will have a closer look hopefully sometime this weekend.
