I just reread what you posted, blame my bad reading comprehension skills, you meant the project is fully open for anyone else to package as a .deb, sorry for that long winded unneeded lecture and again thanks for the work.
You don't need to apologize. Things like this happens. If you need to leave some feedback, I am here to listen.
