Er, there already is a crmsh package in Debian:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/crmsh
So you probably don't want an ITP (#781173) after all.

Martin split up the package at 1.4.1-2; it would be useful to know his
reasons.  The git commit message does not help, unfortunately.

I'd expect apt to solve this issue well enough, provided it's given
correct dependency info.  On the other hand, if all dependencies are
given with = ${binary:Version}, splitting them seems superfluous...
