As far as I know, Damien used the packaging I maintain at:

Ok, this claim makes me smile. The actual Debian packaging is not 4900
lines. Sure, the files in debian/ are around that number of lines… with
a ChangeLog files of 3325. There isn't that much code at all, even the
debian/rules file is only 400 SLOC long.
That said, what's the reason for you not to try to improve the already
existing and working code?
Cheers,
