Yes, there are. At least I am... ;-)

Yes, currently that is still the case.

Well, that is a good question. There is at least the trac and the github 
issue tracker where one can report problems. Neither was particularly 
effective though, as people weren't checking the trackers frequently enough.
This is one of the main reasons to start this new list. I.e. to make 
sure that issues that do get reported get to the right people. And with 
it being a mailinglist, i.e. a push model rather than a pull / polling 
model, one can't forget to check it. Therefore, all issues reported on 
trac should now be forwarded to this mailinglist. The github tracker 
isn't setup that way yet, but hopefully it will as well. So then it 
shouldn't matter as much anymore where you report the issue and 
hopefully in either case you will get a response more quickly.

Anyway, I have committed your pull request now. There is still the 
question of if maintaining the debian packaging information in the 
upstream repository is the most sensible thing to do. As those packaging 
scripts differ slightly from distribution to distribution and version to 
version, you need many different versions of those packaging scripts.

Therefore I have started to maintain the debian packaging scripts I use 
for the PPA in a separate repository[1]
