I release a deb whenever a program changes.  I have personally packaged:

blackbox
bbkeys
bbpager
bbpal

ready to use.  Seeing how the toolbar can be made to hide, I fail to see the
need to hack it out.  Seeing how all of the other utilities are packaged and
functional, I see no need to hack them into bb.

The only complaints I ever received about blackbox and friends were:

bb fails when you set the locale to <that made up language some people like>
bbkeys depended on QT

I removed the QT app from bbkeys.  The other is actually an X problem.
