Ciao again and thanks for your reply (which got swallowed as well).
I'm trying what you suggest out.

I took the liberty to clone the master branch of your repository on
github (github.org) in the "upstream" branch of:

http://github.com/ktf/apt-rpm

and I added a couple of workarounds we need in my master branch.

Any objections to it? I of course can delete the whole thing and
propose patches, if you prefer.
