This is a native package.  0.2.23 will be released when it's uploaded :).

Actually, this is a bug.  It should be the usb-creator-hackers team now.  Fixed.

Is this necessary?  I'm more than happy to add people to the
usb-creator-hackers team.  I'd really like to avoid having a delta
between Debian and Ubuntu on this, if possible.

It has an effect on the devices attached to the local system.  There
are other applications in System->Administration that are similar in
nature to usb-creator, such as GParted and Disk Utility (palimpsest).

Does usb-creator not appear in the same menu as these two applications
in Debian?  You don't specify that something goes into the
Administration menu in the XDG spec, but rather list a set of
categories it falls under.  So if you're seeing different behavior for
similar programs, we might have the set of categories wrong.

Thanks!
