| If you read their downloads page they actually have some debs on their
own site, maybe instead of getting another lot of packages around the
world, convince them to get a sponsor and upload it to debian
directly...
Heres some links:
http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/d...entors_FAQ.html - how to get
a package sponsor.
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ - what they need to read to
even get consideration
http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ - information for them on
maintaining their package to debian standards
