I uploaded this after a few comments that were professionally dealt with.  
Definite bonus points for pushing to Debian and getting new stuff in there.

I worked with him on the FFe for this and he was very open and accepting of 
the additional requirements to get uploaded post FF.

In addition to his packaging work, Steve has been a good member of the 
community.  He works well with the MOTU and other hopefuls.  +1 for community
