Thank you for the patch. Added the files to the extra/debian directory.
Not adding a top-level debian directory, because I don't have a strong opinion
on how it should be packaged. To avoid the dependency and version number hell,
I prefer that Linux users install pdfsizeopt like this:
http://code.google.com/p/pdfsizeopt/wiki/InstallationInstructionLinux To be
better than that, we'd need package maintainer actively and continuously
working on high quality and fresh Debian and Ubuntu packages.

Yes, keeping the packaging aside is the least controversial solution.

Regarding the packaging, it is my intention to, perhaps, maintain pdfsizeopt
(once I use it myself regularly) in what you describe as "actively and
countinuously working on high quality and fresh Debian and Ubuntu packages".
(Having stuff in Ubuntu is usually a side-effect of having things in
Debian, in my experience).
I already maintain other packages and I am always looking to squeeze some
bytes in (almost as) lossless compression as possible (with MP3, JPG, PNG
etc. files)
I would just need to decide on what to include in the package to have things
working well in a Free as in Freedom distribution, since we don't have yet
jbig2enc in Debian.
There are other issues that I think that are needed to get the program in
shape for "public consumption", which I think that I will address in other
bug reports.
Thanks for the feedback, BTW,
Rogério Brito.
