Hmmm ... packaging fplan/xfplan for debian is on my ever growing todo
list so I have the same issue.  Since fplan isnt of much use without
the datebase I was hoping to just put it inside the package.

The only issue there is the license.  Do you know if there are any
license issues with the flplan datebase or is it in the public domain?

With good reason debian is very careful about only including properly
licensed content.
