No plans. The build process is RPM-based (it's scripted obviously but is RPM specific) and I know nothing about APT (don't plan to learn it either, that's not a good use of my time). If somebody joins the project to help who does know APT, then we'll re-evaluate, but given that all this code has to be killed off, it's likely not a good use of time.

Debian already has official packages, of course, and they're well-supported.
