In its current state, I would not even consider packaging it...  There are little
chances it would make it into the archive.  "It kinda works for me" is not
enough of a check before integrating random pieces of software into Xubuntu.
Besides, we are past Feature Freeze and this is typically the kind of
improvement that would require a spec given the impact it has on the
distribution.

Cheers,
