Well I've merged your changes in already. Your work is amazing =D

I'm ubuntu user as well (with launchpad and everything =D) Here on
debian side it seems that everything is separate.

This is where you create wiki account:

http://wiki.debian.org/UserPreferences

To drop the -guest postfix you need to become a Debian Developer.

For the rest of getting set-up in debian in one URL would be

http://debian.org/devel/

Especially the "Developer's Reference" it tells you everything what you
can do (packaging, translation, wiki,...), what will be provided
(alioth, upload rights, etc), and how to achieve it (how to become
debian developer, debian maintainer,...)

I my self am noone (xnox-guest on Alioth that's about it)

You are a member of the crosswire packaging on alioth that means you
have ssh access to alioth.debian.org git.debian.org and etc.

http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth

Anyone who is member of the Crosswire Packaing project on alioth can do
anything with git.debian.org/pkg-crosswire/* repos, including merging
with master.

I've started using Ubuntu in VM 3 years a go to have an *easy*
installation of TexLive + Emacs + AucTex. Only later I discovered that
it is linux and that it is awesome.

I've been there for a while and then I went to logout from my computer
and I saw it kill the window, where I saw someone replied. I've
restrated computer only to realise I kill IRC logs on shutdown. Sorry
about that. And thanks for answering =D Do you keep the logs??? =D
