Debian-Forensics team working towards Squeeze?

Hi mika, everyone,

In regard to this, I'm in one of my active development cycles on
RegLookup.  I'm getting some help from a certain Australian whiz kid
and he's inspiring me to push the development further.  I was hoping
to make one more release sometime soon and get it into squeeze if
possible.  What do you guess my timeline would be on that?

In a quick look at that list, I'd love to see these be packaged:
  air
  fmem
  libpff
  dc3dd

pyflag would of course be cool too, but it may be a lot more effort on
short notice.  I agree with mika that hydra shouldn't be a high
priority.  The few times I've used it, it either didn't do what I
wanted or it crashed.  medusa seems to be much more stable, if lightly
documented.  It's bloody fast too.

Of course this is all talk and no action.  Unfortunately, I don't have
time right now to learn how to create debian packages and integrate
them with the build system, so do what you think is best.

If you guys do have any nasty bugs in a package, let me know and I can
try to help with the debugging/resolution or working with the upstream.

Best,
