Hi Kerstin, thanks for your interest! I'm more than happy to collaborate
on the debian packaging.

I much prefer to keep the debian packaging development separate from
upstream development. The git repositories for this are hosted at
http://git.debian.org/ Ust and liburcu are available in Debian unstable
and testing, but if you need packages for lenny, let me know. I should
be able to backport them with little effort.

ltt-control is nearly done, I have a manpage or two to write and it will
be ready for upload. I can push a snapshot of this effort to a git
repository if you're interested.

For lttv, I'm only waiting for the licensing to be updated before I can
upload that package.

Any patches you have please send them along and I'll make sure they get
included.

Cheers
