I can certainly provide it in Kali, but my aim is not to make the delta bigger... we want to push more of our package towards Debian, and not the opposite. :-) In fact, this package should probably be adopted by the python-modules team. I can make sure that this happens since I'm part of the team. Would that reassure you?
