Well, firstly this would need one of more developers for the upstream
project, who would just need to be sufficiently skilled programmers.
Secondly this project would need to find a Debian maintainer who is
willing to adopt it or to coach and sponsor the upstream programmer(s)
so that an Debian package of the project can emerge.

I myself am in the situation of upstream programmer with Debian
sponsor. My cheat sheet for Debian package preparation has about 130
lines of program runs and comments for three source packages:
libburn, libisofs, and libisoburn.
There are multiple ways to do the Debian work. So it will depend on
the sponsor which one is best for the task.

A start for such an upstream project could be a program which takes
orders from the user to look up particular information from these files.


Have a nice day :)
