Getting kicad into Debian is a BIG DEAL(tm) to kicad users even if you don't 
run Debian yourself. Debian not only has a large user-base itself - there are 
many other Debian based distributions:

(see http://www.debian.org/misc/children-distros )

Four of these 'Debian-children-distributions' (including the current #1 Linux 
distribution ) are in the top 12 Linux distributions.

( see http://distrowatch.com/ )

Not only that, but many other distributions use Debian as an easy way to screen 
for new packages to add to their distribution. In short, the kicad user base is 
about to explode!

As kicad filters into these distributions, this mailing list will get busier 
and there will be more code patches from sophisticated Linux users that get 
contributed that will help polish this already great software. Don't 
underestimate the effect that more Linux users will have on this software.

In other words, this is cause to celebrate! Congratulations and my personal 
thanks to the development team and everyone that helped get kicad into Debian!
