Maybe the wiki page history can give clues.
Thank you, you know how much I care about credits, so both the tarballs'
ownership and the wiki page were useful, thanks.

This was my intention, so... done:
- the Git repository is d-i/babelbox.git [8]
- [hooks]
mailinglist = debian-installer_...@packages.qa.debian.org
replyto = debian-boot@lists.debian.org
cia-project = debian-installer/babelbox
- the master branch is where I imported the three versions I found,
i.e. etch from Christian [9], lenny from Frans and squeeze from
Alexander
- the debian branch is where Didier already started the Debian
packaging
[8] <http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=d-i/babelbox.git;a=summary>
[9] <http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/pub/etch/babelbox/babelbox.tgz>
[10] <http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/pub/lenny/babelbox/babelbox.tgz>
[11] <http://d-i.debian.org/babelbox/babelbox-squeeze.tgz>
My plan is now the following:
a) test the current status against squeeze and fix whatever is needed,
i.e. what Didier and I spotted during FOSDEM 2012 and OpenSourceNow
2012 on the Debian Events Box [12]
2) update the current status for wheezy, i.e. what I modified for the
RMLL 2012
3) finish the packaging with the *default* options
4) start to allow customization via debconf
5) squeeze-backports package
6) bring back some previous details dropped over time, like the sounds
for automatic opening of a GNOME session and a nice "welcome" message
in the relevant language [13][14], obviously configurable...

However, please note that I am not promising that I will do the above in
a short time frame (DebConf12/13 and Real Life™ stuff as well...).
Thx, bye,
