I'm also sorry for my delay in responding here and to your other
message. I'm hoping to have more time next week to work on the packaging
and hopefully finalize it.

Don't worry about this. As for the inconsistency among the ftpmasters,
it's been brought up in this debian-devel thread:
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2015/11/msg00235.html>

Ok

I'll make a separate message for this, but maybe not tonight.

It would since Debian also redistributes the source tarball. It's really
no problem; I can keep it there as long as I document its copyright.

It's up to you, but what about the libraries and language bindings? Is
it feasible to package them in different source distributions? This way,
issues with the server packaging won't hold back the library packages
and affect their dependencies. It's not really urgent, I just think it
would improve modularity.


Thanks and regards
