Thanks for all you have done so far! It's much appreciated.

I would like to do some work on sawfish,  but I don't have much time either.

I've gotten packages in to Debian before, and its been asked several
times recently on #sawfish (freenode) if latest sawfish is packaged?
Is there an active DEB maintainer at present?

Cheers,
