I did debian's folder of upstream muffin packages improvement 6 months 
ago following old packages from debian repository and lintian output.
Unfortunately I haven't had time to improve (and merging all possible 
debian/patches) of all the othercinnamon upstream packages, which 
require a lot of changes, with the exception perhaps of nemo packages 
already improved in the past from the old maintainer.
When the packages will be loaded on the experimental/sid repositoryI 
will start to test them, in the future if I'll have time and if need be 
I'll help to improve them and port all possible fixes/improvements in 
upstream.
