Great; you can create an empty repository if you have no time, I will
push contents.
BTW please do not use the Downloads direct link, this will create a
tar.gz based on current master, which is different from latest
release.  Instead, use Tags to download 0.7.0.tar.gz:
  https://github.com/tpaviot/oce/tarball/OCE-0.7.0
Unless I am mistaken, it can be renamed into .orig.tar.gz, all
non-DFSG stuff has been dropped.
