It surely is.

At the moment, there's two mechanisms, building from some VCS repo
(git, svn, bzr), or pulling the source from Debian unstable. Is there
a VCS for the sources? (debian/ only is sufficient, the rest can come
from upstream tarballs)

In any case I prefer the package to also be in Debian, though that's
not a strict requirement.

Would you be interested to maintain the package in Debian? I can
sponsor uploads.
