Frankly speaking I didn't have a chance to make any progress on this
because ASL got a lot of attention from other distros and we had to
respond to all the comments, suggestions, patches, etc..

However todays commit is a release candidate (only minor changes
suggested by package maintainers in the coming days and some comments to
the examples will be included). So you responded just in time :)
By now one can generate a basic .deb package running `cpack -G DEB` - a
good starting point probably.

Yep, thank you! We got a lot of positive feedback recently :)

Maybe I was looking in the wrong place, but I just didn't find a way to
make the initial upload of the code to debian-science. As mentioned
above I didn't have time to investigate further. Today the things calm
down a bit, so I can give it another try... I'm not familiar with Debian
infrastructure, so my question is - how do I get access to the box (and
what is its address) mentioned in the link in order to import our
library?

Thank you!
