Jordi, That is just fantastic! I'd like to work on getting things set up so you can manage the port changes, but I have one question. In setting up the .deb package, did you start from scratch or utilize the existing Debian files in misc/debian?
If you have updates to those files, those would be great to update so we can get a little bit closer towards proper integration into apt. The menu and build configuration you selected sounds good. Sounds like you put a lot of great effort into it as well. Awesome work, and thanks! Cheers! Sean p.s.
