Is lxp included in any other distribution? How widely is it used and 
deployed, especially compared to iceWM. Is it an established and popular 
fork in that community?

The way to submit packages to ubuntu archives is by becoming an ubuntu 
member and then an universe uploader (MOTU).If you had not contributed 
to ubuntu/debian before that will not be easy, so you may have to find 
interested lxp users who are ubuntu contributors. If projects are 
popular enough they tend to get enough push to have someone in ubuntu 
look at them out of personal interest.
