Yes, I am planning on maintaining a deb package.  

I guess we could have put an official release on SourceForge after I got a
successful build.  But it would have needed to built at the same release
level as the other packages on SourceForge, (in my opinion.)  Since we know
there is a bug there, I did not think it made sense.  It seemed that
including the package as we went forward would be sufficient.

I am going to update the build directions to include how to build the debian
packages and checkin any needed files to do that.  I just haven't quite got
to it yet.  ;-(  Real soon now.  (I keep getting sidetracked on various
things that interest me.)
