just:

debian-in.org.     1D IN CNAME debian-in.alioth.debian.org.
www.debian-in.org. 1D IN CNAME debian-in.alioth.debian.org.

Should be sufficient I think.  I can set up secondary DNS too once you 
have the CNAMES set up.

I vaguely seem to recall the Greek Debian domain being hijacked at some 
point.  Was it by this guy?  We should try and get in touch with him and 
see what his intentions are.
