I took the liberty to make an individual package of it. I did get the version Peter mentioned, added a 50dpkg-dev-emacs.el and a trivial Makefile, dh_make and voila. People interested can point their apts to the following locations and apt-get install dpkg-dev-emacs. deb http://roland.mas.free.fr/debian/ unstable main deb-src http://roland.mas.free.fr/debian/ unstable main As a prospective new maintainer, I'd be interested in feedback. And if Peter or someone wants to adopt the package afterwards, then feel free to. Roland.
