I don't have any "pure" Debian systems running but I have a number of  
Ubuntu server installs I can play with.  Most are running Ubuntu  
6.06LTS (aka. "Dapper").  I'd be willing to investigate the whole  
packaging so that it plays nice with Debian/Ubuntu's little quirks.

Just a few questions:
- Did you want to bundle SpamAssassin and ClamAV too?
- Do we need to use your Perl modules or can we use the distribution  
ones?
- I was thinking maybe making separate packages for all of this (MS,  
SA, Clam and Perl mods), then putting it all up in a single repo -  
what do other people think?

No time frames/promises...I've got to sit down and figure out the best  
way to achieve this without borking the base packages etc.  This is  
just something that's bugged me for ages and after reading this  
thread, it's piqued my interest (again!).

Cheers,

James
