Hi All -

It's looking like we started a bit too late to get into multiverse - alas.
Had I known how complex the process was, I would have gotten started
earlier!

Currently the major roadblock has to do with incorrect versioning. Our
package was originally a native debian package (I think because Mako's
original plan was to push to Debian first?), and now it seems it should be
non-native. The conversion might be trivial for someone with more experience
in these matters -- it isn't for me.

Here's the gist of it as expressed by a motu on ubuntu-motu irc at freenode:
". just generate a proper tarball out of pristine svn sources (svn export,
tar -czf) and amend the version in debian/changelog to use
<upstreamversion>-0ubuntu1
(11:44:04 AM) hyperair: where <upstreamversion> is from
scratch_<upstreamversion>.
orig.tar.gz"

If anyone out there can do this and coordinate the rest of the necessary
changes to the control / rules files, etc., the source is here:
