Hi Jonas, you are right it does appear that tahoe-lafs package is not 
yet "officially" in Debian although there are package repositories and 
it is in the Ubuntu repositories.

I read this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544338

But I'm not sure I understand what has to happen to get the Tahoe in 
Debian officially.  It does look very powerful.
