I had a go at packaging 0.13 based on the Ubuntu packaging info, but never got round to publishing it. Some things you might want to keep in mind: 1. since the last Ubuntu packaged release, Storm contains a C extension so the package should not be architecture independent any more. 2. I had a problem with it packaging the C extension source code in the resulting packages. Commenting out the setuptools bits from setup.py solved this problem. I never pursued this any further since I'd heard of many other setuptools / debian packaging related nightmares. 3. While the packaging tools are fine with .tar.bz2 orig tarballs, Soyuz hates them. This one probably isn't a problem for submitting things to Debian though. Other than that, it should be pretty easy to get a new package working.
