Ok, I renamed the avin2 package and added the official sensor package:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-multimedia/openni-sensor-avin2-sensorkinect.git
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-multimedia/openni-sensor-primesense.git

I updated the 'pristine-tar' and 'upstream' branches on openni:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-multimedia/openni.git

I left primesense-nite-nonfree as is because as far as I know it doesn't
have an 'upstream' branch since it downloads the binary tarball.

Should be ready for people to hack on, let me know if I missed something.
