Nice to here that at least a solution for a "BB-style" server with easy handling of upgrades will be possible for su who have precisely chosen Debian because it is by far the easiest distribution to maintain..:)
That is the plan, actually. A good friend of mine is an active Debian developer so I'll discuss it with him to see if I should maintain it in Debian myself, or if I should have someone else handing the Debian bureaucracy.
He can act as a sponsor for the package while you are still the package maintainer (and thus the one receiving the bug reports and following the minimum general stuff for Debian developers to be able to maintain the package).
Well, this does not prevent you to apply as a Debian developer if you intend to maintain the package for a long time. This needs some initial investment from yourself...and the process may seem quite long and complicated but, well, several other "upstream authors" have done so.
Another possibility is of course finding a DD with enough motivation to maintain the package, for instance among your users. I'm afraid of being myself a bit too overloaded to offer this however (and, moreover, I'm not a hobbit user yet).
Dammit, I really should switch my BB server now...:)
