(developers) Debian Repository package

Hello everyone,

This is mainly a question to other PAM developers.  I have a PAM
module that I've created and maintained for around a year now ( plug:
http://pam-imap.sf.net ) and have been using it personally in a
production environment for around 3/4 that time.  I've had a modest
amount of interest in my module, and a couple people out there that
think it's better than sliced bread.

My question to other PAM developers that have gotten their modules in
a distribution package:  How hard is it?  I've been looking
specifically at getting a package into the official Debian
repositories, and it seems like a bit of work.  Any experiences out
there to help someone that's starting the adventure?  What about other
distros like Fedora, etc?  Also, being a bit modest myself, how can I
tell if my package is "worthy" of a public distribution?

Thanks!

Cal Heldenbrand
