I've already done multiple builds on a clean chroot using pbuilder, i will
let you know when i have something definitive. They take a lot of time
since i have to build from scratch every time (inside a VM). I'm almost
done with Debian 6, just doing some final builds to confirm.

I don't know how the Debian policy is for including new packages, but i
know Ubuntu won't do it for stable releases. They only sync new packages
while in beta. So, what i was thinking, is of doing a repository (just like
a PPA) but for Debian systems. I can build everything locally and upload it
to my server.

If i have enough time, tomorrow i will publish the definitive binary
packages for Debian 6 so others can test them, and then move to Unstable.
