Hi Pat,

glad you show your interest in Brasero, but this mailing list is mostly
for Developers and Users asking questions about Brasero itself not
related to packaging (DEB, RPM etc...). I suggest you ask this question
on Debian GNOME Mailing list or Ubuntu Desktop Mailing list. In those
mailing lists you can find the right people to help you. 
If you're really interested you can become an unofficial packager for
Brasero i'm sure we can add a link to our wiki page[1].

Cheers
Luis
