I'm having major issues with the internet so can't work on this now. Anyway, both Debian and REVU are meant for package maintainers not just random uploaders, I mean I would also need to handle the bugs etc which doesn't make sense since I would then need to act as a "gateway". Also, both projects require some experience in packaging and other bug tasks so my package could be rejected for lack of experience. Apologies for any inconvenience. Sorry.

@ianare: I suggest that you
1) Add -0ubuntu1 to the package name
2) Adapt the changelog so that it has one entry (with oneiric as target disribution) with the following description:
* Initial release (LP: #134470)
3) Build the package with "dpkg-buildpackage -S -sa -rfakeroot"
4) Upload the package to REVU with: "dput revu package_version_source.changes"

That's it and metamorphose will get into Ubuntu unless the package gets rejected because of reasons explained here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU/CheckList more details on the above steps are also available in: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages#Going_through_MOTU
