Plan, yes but probably later than sooner.  The whole thing is currently
stalled again due to lack of Copious Free Time (packaging patches is
relatively easy, but supporting them afterwards is a different story).  

With a few more people pitching in things might move quicker.  It
doesn't look completely hopeless, for example someone recently made made
updated hildon-desktop[1] packages, let's see if I can convince them to
put them in the SSU...

Interesting, would you mind filing bugs[2] for those?  Or, if you (or
anyone) want to "adopt" the HAM package feel free ;-)

That one I already know about (see keywords) but it's merely an
annoyance so not a very high priority.
