I have looked at setools, and if that is an example, there is
not much help. They took my package (just this January), merger 4
binary library packages into one, converted the build system to use
CDBS, and added gazillions of files into ./debian.
They seem to have gone out of their way to fork the package.

At this point, our packages in Sid are more recent.

Feel free to make the advances. But given the way they have
forked the packages, I am not currently in the mood.
