I think unofficial should probably be sufficient, although if you're prepared to
maintain it, having a pointer in the README.Debian of the official package would
be extremely nice.

One of the things I've been speculating about in relation to this case is 64-bit

Luis, can you build debug packages for at least the top few architectures?
