Ok, let's do that then.  (Do we need to register the BoF ahead of time?)

Cool.  I think the biggest open question is how to avoid forking a
package just for to include maemo-optify in debian/rules.

Hmm, maemo-optify is of course quite untested, especially from inside
debian/rules.  This particular behavior doesn't ring any bells,
unfortunately.  The script itself is very simple, so it might be a good
idea to put some "print"s into it, if it confuses you.
