No. I didn't want to do this job, it was just that Peter didn't answer the call and we were wondering what to do to speed up things. As I was playing already with Launchpad PPA, I decided to do the packaging there until we get somebody from Debian. Once the package was mature enough (we were three guys working on the new package) we decided to give it a try with the WNPP ITP... As I am part of the development process, I also thought that it will be nice if we close the loop a bit and provide you, the maintainers from Debian, with our idea of packages. Hope that it was helpful... Let me know the continuatio...
