feel free to contact me if there are any issues with the upstream code 
w.r.t. packaging in Debian. I haven't packaged anything for Debian yet, 
so I won't be of much help in that area but I can try.

What is the legal problem here? I think the default license for the 
.spec file is MIT:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#License_of_Fedora_SPEC_Files

The upstream repository (which includes the .spec file too) is licensed 
under GPLv2+. That's probably an inconsistency that I should fix...
