When you say "we", do you mean "my coworkers and I", or do you really
mean "you all", meaning you would like someone else to package it?

If it's the former, you can get started on learning to create Debian
packages by following the New Maintainers' Guide, at
<https://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/>.  Once you've read that and
taken your first baby steps, if you need additional guidance, there's
an IRC channel named #packaging on OFTC which I'm told is a good place
to ask for help.  I've never been there myself.

If it's the latter, you might wish to state the request more explicitly,
so that people know what you actually want.  And... uh... good luck.

Let me tell you a story I learned when I was a kid.
One day a system operator on a BBS I was using offer me to give me a
hand installing and configuring my own BBS.
The days passed by amd I asked this guy so often "when" that in decided
not to help me.

Maybe you shall take this into consideration as everyone is volunteer here.

If you NEED so much this software then I suggest you pay someone to
package it and as all of the community will be glad to benefit for this.

Because you know, there's many and many more software I'd like to get
packaged in Debian. This is why I've created many of my own packages and
even my own repository to hold all those package that ain't in the
distribution but that I like to use.

You can do the same for Solanum.

But don't ask me to do so....
Because I already know that you'll be harassing to know "when", as you
don't seem to understand some basis of how community based project work.

Unless you can explain to me why should someone be bound to your own
agenda ? Because you seem to use the "we" but reading the many
repetitive message you sent, seems more like a big huge "I".

Please take a step back and re-read what you wrote here. You've read a
*lot* into a short message that I'm guessing may be from a non-native
English speaker. Maybe try and a be a little more welcoming, please?
Simply asking the original poster for a little more explanation of
their meaning wouldn't be hard...
