I see that #978476 has been closed; are you still thinking of packaging this? I'm not clear why this would be helpful in Debian, better than, say, using a virtual env or chroot? If you're working in a LTS version of some distro, surely you're better off in a chroot anyway, as that gives you the exact setup of the distro you're working in. Best wishes, Julian
