There are packages for Ubunutu, Arch, Slackware, Gentoo, Fedora, CentOS, Mandriva and probably others. The last 3 are maintained on the openSUSE Build Service the rest are maintained by people who use e17 on those respective operating systems not the enlightenment devs. Generally developers of Linux apps don't do packaging themselves its to much work to know each system. Packaging is generally done by distributions or other users depending on how important the application seems to the distro. Obviously no one has stepped up to do this for Debian your best bet is to learn packaging yourself or bug someone who knows it to do it for you. Building / Packaging Enlightenment isn't to hard and it should be easier for you given there’s already Ubuntu packages you can follow. Cheers, Simon
