You have not _explicitely refused it - but you didnt add me either. If 
you did in the first place I would have used Alioth's SVN repo tho.
And to be honest - or rathe rin fact it does NOT make any sense, since 
the Ubuntupackage is more of a hack than a debian-like package - and 
even the one that just passed NEW is just the Ubuntupackage with some of 
the lintian-warnings fixed.

Could be that I have been a bit harsh in the first place, but I was 
disappointed and angry and felt of ignored by you in some way.
