I know. I am currently in the processing of introducing the full  
Indicator stack to Debian. As a fork [1] of Ubuntu Indicators.

@gnugr: it is much more tricky to get this running on Debian testing.  
We actually need a patched mate-indicator-applet for this, the  
ayatana-indicator-application installed and then some consumer (e.g.  
like variety, remmina, etc.).

Martin and I have plans to work on Ayatana Indicators now after the  
17.10 release of Ubuntu is out.

Greets,
Mike
