Thanks for the suggestion! I've actually been watching the WIP
versions for a little while, and intending to package them in
experimental especially since Genesis and SNES support was added. I'm
just waiting for my key to be added to the keyring (#610456, marked
pending; I guess it will be added in the end-of-February upload).
