I don't really follow what happened in this little thread, so I'm not sure if there is going to be a new package or not. If, for whatever reason (i.e. you discovered an already packaged software which suites you) you don't plan to package freefall anymore please close this ITP bug.

I notice that there is another implementation of this idea that supports more laptops than the Linux one, should these two be merged or what? https://packages.debian.org/sid/hdapsd The freefall interface is pretty cool and easy, because the decision is done in hardware and the userspace only has to actually trigger parking the heads. That's also supported by hdapsd (and if not properly, I, with my upstream hat on, want patches as I do not own any HP/Dell hardware). hdapsd also supports other motion sensors, that only report motion and no binary decision. That said, I would favour only having one complete implementation in the archive (and wonder why noone told me about the in-kernel tool for 7 years), but would not oppose someone else maintaining the version built from src:linux ;) Sorry, didn't notice that the freefall interface is already supported by newer hdapsd. I'm totally fine with using hdapsd instead since it's more complete than the freefall.c.

A daemon is required to handle the events generated by the drivers. This program is included in the kernel source. It will do the user-space jobs: to park/un-park disk head when something happens, and make LEDs blink accordingly. I don't think you need to file an ITP for a package that will be built from the linux source package already in Debian.
