Sounds great! I had a look at this package before when I made the last upload, but ran out of time finalizing upgrading to latest upstream. I'm happy to sponsor and review if you try to get the ball rolling, but my availability is stochastic so no promises -- just ask on the list and keep reminding everyone and things will be good. Please target debian/experimental to not disturb things in unstable until everything has been successfully reverse build tested.
