Would it help if I shipped woody source packages?  I now have a couple

Punting the lua40 package over to me if you like would be nice.
http://www.place.org/~nop/lua/debian/ is current status for potato. I haven't shipped woody packages because the ones I have are just hacked together enough to work. I need to review the packaging standards.
Known screwups: a silly source file name (liblua4.0-loadlib2-1.0_1.0-1.dsc) and a complete lack of Build-Depends. I'll spin the crank on these packages again tonight for potato, and then forward-port them to woody. (Largely re-yada'ing.)
I need to make sure that all the stuff I write is for 40 and 41 though :) 

Unfortunately I am using 41 in all my new projects 'cos I can track 4.1
development with the -work releases fine (unless we're waiting about 9
months for 4.1 in which case I'll just have to freeze at 4.1-work3)
I'm stuck with 4.0 until tolua catches up. Been considering porting it to 4.1 myself.
If the lua40 package is up to scratch for unstable/testing I'll put it in 
and adapt my 41 packages to say 41 instead of 4

Sound okay?
Yes, quite. I'm interested in making your life easier, and I'm more than willing to take advice and suggestions. I'm not a Real Debian Developer, so you know more than I do about what's good and proper.
