I certainly don't want to step on anyone's toes, but I'd offer to try to
package it.

Disclaimer:

 - I'm currently in NM, waiting on the DAM. It seems the NM queue is
finally moving again, so I might not need a sponsor much longer.
 - my Debian load is quite small so far, just a few perl scripts.
 - I'd be interested in packaging a arch-any package for a change.
 - I don't know anything lisp nor about postscript, so I'd need to work
together closely with you (Juliusz) when bugs are discovered.
 - I don't know anything about font handling in Debian, so again it'd
certainly be a learning experience. (But obviously, since I'm speaking up,
I'd be interested in learning.)

For these reasons, co-maintenance would probably be a good idea, too.

Disclaimer #2: I haven't looked at cedilla at all so far - I'm writing this
in the assumption that it really is intended to do more or less the same as
the other ascii-to-ps renderers that are out there, but in a better way.
