I've waited a long time for another application besides SETI at home to get 
released under a DFSG compliant license. Very cool indeed.

I'm with Rene here. BOINC related packages should be maintained under the 
umbrella of the Debian BOINC Maintainers and I invite you to handle this 
package as part of the team. You know that Steffen (or I?) added you to the 
pkg-boinc project two (or three?) years ago, so you already have the required 
permissions to use its infrastructure (Git repositores etc.).

BTW: I'm very interested how well (if at all) update-boinc-applinks copes with 
other applications.

Cheers
