Thanks for your interest in Debian. I downloaded your files but they aren't lintian compliant and seem to be corrupted. Could you correct this ?

N: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ Also, do you plan to become a Debian developer and look for a sponsor or is it just a package you hand us ? Wouls you like to see it in the oficial Debian distribution ? If the latter, please file a RFP against the pseudo-package wnpp (see http://bugs.debian.org/wnpp). When your package is OK, I'd be happy to maintain it. Cheers, Eric.
