Great.  Do you have any idea what might be the straightforeward way to
build Debian packages from it.  While I think we might be perfectly able
to follow the install instructions to assemble files in the right place
but some basic testing should be done as well and I have no idea what to
do regarding this aspect.

Kind regards
