First a provocative question: The project has been created in 2007 and
apparently abandoned in 2008. Is it still worth packaging, or would it
not be preferable to look for a suitable replacement?

Normally, this would not work: As soon as a new version comes out, we would
lose the old one, except for a copy on hydra that might be garbage collected.
So I think it would be preferable to use an svn checkout.
In this particular case, since there are no new releases, the argument
becomes moot...
