I think it is ready, from packaging prospective.

However I started to have doubts whenever we really want to involve Debian 
into supporting Litecoin. As I learn more about Litecoin I realised that it is 
redundant to Bitcoin and have very little or no value.

I did a little research of this matter for another package and I've chosen to 
ignore this warning precisely because it doesn't matter for Debian.
