I'm almost ready to upload purple-plugin-pack (though I haven't looked 
at importing it into collab-maint or anything like that). I have to 
review the copyright info, as it's changed since I created 
debian/copyright. If anyone wants to provide feedback (would be much 
appreciated), I stuck my work at http://dlgeek.net/ppp/. Sorry for the 
inconvenient access.
