Ok I created the git repository and uploaded my current version of the package. git clone ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-a11y/simon.git It's far from perfect (no manpages and some unnecessary links for example) but it works and shouldn't eat your system. Feedback of course hugely appreciated

Hi, Peter. I'm not all that good at packaging myself yet, but I do want to help with simon. I tried, but was unable to build a version myself that did not require the user to download HTK source code. Assuming you've done that separation, I would be very glad to get Simon into Vinux for testing.
