We had briefly talked about it at Debconf17...

If they were actually uploaded to debian, users could have a trust path
From debian, and we'd get reproducible builds testing out of the deal!

That's actually how I built the firmware for my gnuk... so I already
have some rough packaging. The technical part was fairly straightforward
for a single platform; not sure how easy it would be to built for
multiple platforms.

I also found the regnual tool very helpful to switch from neug to gnuk,
as most FST-01 devices ship with neug.
