This shouldn't be a problem from now on (hopefully). Paul Stevens and me
have decided to cooperate on an official one. The first version of it (1.4.0) 
entered Debian incoming today, and will be part of debian unstable tomorrow.

I'm sorry to announce this so late, but the last week has been a bit
terrible for me, and having cpu accepted took quite long. :)

Anyway, here we are. Now the roadmap is to package 1.4.1 and make some
improvement for the debconf management. For any packaging
suggestion/problem you can refer to the Debian BTS, and if any
non-packaging problem arises there we'll be happy to coordinate solutions
with the cpu community.

To answer Blake's direct question, no, for now we have no debian specific
patches (I had one for 1.3.99, but discarded it when I prepared 1.4.0, as
the feature was already included), apart from some default config file
tweaking, to make it match the debian policy.

Thanks for this wonderful piece of software.

Bye,

Guido
