Sadly these are enough reasons to not even try to package it then :-(

As an example of why, if any problem arises (a security issue, a compilation 
bug, etc), I can't go to upstream, but leave *you* with the problem (if I 
can't solve that myself).

I'll stay in this list a couple of days more just in case someone wants to add 
something to this thread, else I will unsuscribe myself. Of course, you are 
always free to reach me by my e-mail if needed.

Regards, Lisandro.
