You don't need to provide it yourself, thats what we debian
developers are here for, I will take care of the packaging
work. If you want, you can add the debian packaging
information (a debian subdir with some text files in it) to
your main tree. This would allow everybody to build .debs on
its own, especially as it is of course too late to add it to
sarge now.

Our library was also used internally (and still is) and then
published, development has more or less stalled, though.

Fine by me.

Makes sense, and gets rid of the naming issue :)
Which toolkits to you plan to support?

Great, I will do some packaging until, so that I can add it
to unstable as soon as the c++ abi/toolchain transition is
through.
