For what it is worth (not very much, I suspect), I disagree that being
a build dependency for a Debian package is the only valid reason to
include a tool in Debian. I, like many others use Debian as a software
development platform. Having a good set of development tools is a big
selling feature for me.

I suspect there are other reasons why no-one has volunteered to review
Kaido's package, mainly the (non)-release of Lenny, and lua not being
as well known as other scripting languages.

Cheers,

David
