Indeed > Daniel, would you want to (co-)maintain it? I have a package (on upstreams > Debian packaging fixed up) here already :-) Hi Rene, Funnily enough I was starting to fix up upstreams packaging myself earlier. Yes, I'd like to co-maintain it. I think it is good for the LibreOffice packaging team to be part of maintaining it to make sure there are no breakages there. And I can hopefully be a good link with upsteam. I think we should upload to experimental first as it is still under development heading for the 1.0 release.
