Hello Roland,

I have not tried yet to run Sailfish, but I already tried to install it on
Wheezy and Jessie :)  If this program holds its promises, it will be a great
addition to Debian.

I would recommend that you post an ITP early and mention that co-maintainers
are welcome.  If nobody joins, then we can host the packages in Debian Med;
alternatively you can consider joining collab-maint (https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/CollabMaint).

For the uploads, I can sponsor if you need.

Have a nice week-end,

Charles
