I would be able to help out in maintaining this if done using git.

I would *not* feel comfortable helping out if using Darcs.

That said, my voice may be irrelevant if not using CDBS as well, due to 
my drastic standpoint regarding that and short-form dh.  The reason I 
voice my concern regarding VCS anyway is that I suspect it (disregarding 
CDBS) is shared with fellow Debian Multimedia developers.
