Dear Raghava,
in addition to Steffen I'd mention that a very simple step could help
both sides: If you would publish your source packages (*.dsc,
*.debian.tar.gz) or some repository where you maintain the sources could
enable us to include your work right into Debian where you can in turn
base the next release of your distribution on. I can only repeat:
*Because* of a lack of manpower you should try to cooperate and consider
the successful trail BioLinux went for the very same reason.
Kind regards
Andreas.
