I personally am not interested in gLite, in particular since I have been
contributing to the NorduGrid for the past 4 years - which is pretty
proud to be independent of gLite :)

The GSoC project is completely grid-middleware agnostic. You can add
gLite to an instance where appropriate and then use the GSoC dynamic
queue as a backend.

For Debian, I wish that you package as much as you can possibly manage
to support. For the project, I only thought of completing my past work
on Torque, but I am not religous here. We can have another batch system
if that is preferred on your end.

Many greetings
