If I make them available to others at all I intend to actually
become a contributing package maintainer for the Debian distro. I
would also ask for space on oss.sgi.com to put the packages on the
oss.sgi.com server to complement the rpm packages. I will
definitely contact the Dell group as well, though, if you can
supply me with a pointer to them.
