[DRE-maint] term-ansicolor not in debian?

I'm a little surprised nobody has so much as filed an RFP for
term-ansicolor.  The reason I ask is I am in the planning
stage of developing an app called live-workbench for creating and
managing live-helper-based projects. See:

http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-live/live-workbench.git;a=summary

One of the first features I have planned is to colorize log output.  I
think term-ansicolor would fit this purpose, but since I intend to
package live-workbench for Debian when it is ready, I would prefer to
use libraries already in Debian if they exist.  Have I missed
something?  Should I be using something else?

If term-ansicolor *is* the right tool, I guess my next step is to RFP
libterm-ansicolor-ruby.  I would be happy to contribute to packaging
it, but am wary of over-extending myself by having to learn a whole
new toolset, so if this work interests someone else here, let me know.

Thanks,
Ben
