OK, that is what I thought. I might have a look at packaging CruiseControl in the future, but I can't really see having a CruiseControl and a phpUnderControlCruiseControl, because that would be frowned upon even by me :-) I also don't really want to package CruiceControl, because it is Java and I just don't understand it enough.

It would be good to have this in the packaging guidelines somewhere. All I could find were random threads in mailing list, none of them with an official conclusion as far as I could seen. I guess I will leave both packages for now and create my own repository with just those two and see how it is working out.
