Indeed, my intention is to package it for testing.  Version 3.1.8 have
just been announced to be released in one or two days, so it is an
excellent moment to do it.

I have been preparing some changes for the 3.1.x series as you saw in
the git repository.  From the top of my head, some things still have to
be done:

* Acknowledge the recent NMU to the package for using a new version of
  libcoin.

* Remove the static library version, in order to have a more manageable
  debian/rules file and cut down the build times.

I will upload the changes still pending in my hard drive and then you
can think if you want to chime in.
