It is somewhere on my todo list to try and pick this up, because it
would be a great shame to lose rtfm for squeeze. But I don't use it,
so if anyone reading is able to take the packaging previously posted

I've gone for

Source: rt-extension-emailcompletion
Binary: rt3.8-extension-emailcompletion

now I just have to unravel Module::Install::RTx which is currently
a bit confused...

Cheers,
