Great, thanks for considering this. I figured out that since dmo  
offers the packages for arches other than amd64 and i386, then Debian  
can too. :)

OK, that's a sensible thing. What about uploading new test packaging  
to experimental, to not disrupt the transition to testing? That way,  
we could achieve the best of both worlds.

BTW, thanks a lot for packaging xmbc. This package in particular makes  
Debian increase so much in value on its own.

One next step would be to sanitize the build system of handbrake to  
make another "high profile" package come from Debian proper...

Thanks again,
