Makes good sense to mantain that library separately.  Great that you've 
already done the initial preparations - please do go ahead with filing 
an ITP for it!

If you don't mind swithing the packaging style from the current 
short-form dh to CDBS, then I would be happy to help maintain it.  I can 
do the transition, or I can guide you - both is fine with me.

Also fine with you keeping current packaging style and finding someone 
else to sponsor/co-maintain.


Kind regards,
