Never mind. I will take care of them, in case there is a change in the
Debian package (I don't think there is much to do anyhow).

Thanks for volunteering. I'll setup an import of the PPA you've setup.

Sounds good. Should I send a pull request against rosdistro with the
git-buildpackage repos, or do you have a test system where I can try it
first?

We do have a test farm setup though it is using the live rosdistro repository. However for these changes I think that will be fine as we will need to standup a parallel distro such as 'utopic-backports' for each targeted platform.

Lets follow up in more detail on the ros-sig-buildfarm: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ros-sig-buildfarm
