There is the pkg-eucalyptus subversion repository. The one on
pkg-escience is outdated and the git one that Charles I recall to have
created was never adopted, really. Correct me if I am wrong ....
The packages we can IMHO directly upload to unstable - we should just
submit some bug to it that prevents its migration to testing for the
start. Once that is up, let me then upload a version to
backports.debian.org.

Uuuuuuuuh, please adjust the changelog, then :)

Quite some of them I have now seen at OpenStack, so they won't have too
much time for you. From what I recall/understood, most dependencies
where co-developed by Chris.

For your project this is not required, albeit nice for testing, obviously.
We win when we have  the ARMel image run virtually on some Intel platform.
