I sure did! I got in touch with Monty about it on IRC, as per my
previous message.

Correct.

I do not expect any packaging help from upstream, no.

Exactly! The set of tools that could be added would be:
- piuparts (in both Wheezy and Sid)
- lintian
- sbuild (with the double-build option, to make sure we clean correctly)
- adequate

Maybe also we could imagine running the tempest test suite using
packages. That would be really awesome.

Also, I would like to continue having an automated Debian repository
build, just the way I have right now.

I hope that all of the above will be up and running at some point, if we
move to that. I'm convince that's the way forward.
