openni debian package updates?

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Ok, I've just had to dive deep into this stuff again, but sadly this time on Mac OS X.  The good news is that almost all of this experience will be easy to apply to the Debian packages.  Indeed, I was packaging for Fink which uses a lot of Debian tools and even .deb packages.  Here are the sources:

http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/fink/dists/10.4/stable/main/finkinfo/libs/openni.info?view=markup
http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/fink/dists/10.4/stable/main/finkinfo/libs/openni-sensor-primesense.info?view=markup
http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/fink/dists/10.4/stable/main/finkinfo/libs/openni-sensor-avin2-sensorkinect.info?view=markup
http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/fink/dists/10.4/stable/main/finkinfo/libs/primesense-nite.info?view=markup

One thing I did to is change the 'sensor' package names, I propose using these names:

openni-sensor-primesense.info (for OpenNI PrimeSense Sensor driver)
openni-sensor-avin2-sensorkinect (for avin2's SensorKinect fork)

If anyone can take on applying this stuff to the Debian packaging, I'll help out where I can.  If not, I'll try to get to it when I can.
