Ok. Since I still need a package ACCEPTED for gaining Extras CVS
access, I will try to do my best at this (of course, I still assume
no-one else wants to do that instead...)
I am going to have a look at all the spec files mentioned in this
thread, then assemble something for you to have a look.
Real users of the package will be real useful for testing the results,
so if you are not subscribed to the pkg-review list I can write here
again as soon as I have something workable.

Thanks a lot for all the pointers.
