Debian directory can go. The debian branch is up to you. I'll be
basically forking in github and using the debian branch to do debian
work. So if you want to merge my changes back for redundancy purposes
then it might be a good idea to keep it.

Yes that's my intention.

So we actually need to move quickly on something. Alexander
Reichle-Schmehl pointed out to me that offlineimap is about to be
pulled from debian due to a *grave* bug. 

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=603450

offlineimap: fails check the remote servers ssl certificate is valid

Does anyone know if this has been looked at?

Cheers,
John
