Well, already I have come a long way, but MiKTeX-tools is definitely not
a clever choice to start as a Debian/Ubuntu package maintainer. Although
I am not a programmer, I have the feeling it is well organized and is a
real contribution to Debian/Ubuntu. The biggest problem at the moment:

The source creates multiple binaries and multiple libraries.

Especially the later point is marked in several Wiki/Howtodoit papers as
"advanced", i.e., not for beginners.

Although I find this a very interesting project, and as far as I see it
now the software works well, I have the tendency to postpone this
project until I have more experience with packaging.

Just as a reference, I have also found (but not tested) a GUI for the
MiKTeX package manager at http://www.geocities.com/fiolj/gmpm.html.
