Not yet, but any and all help to get it working well is very
welcome. :)
How good are you with preseed, and would you be up for helping to
get things in place?
:)

Yes, as much as I'd love to have Debian / Ubuntu support for the various
components, maintaining the release cycles for Fedora and RHEL is a time
intensive task of itself.
That being said, we'd love to help expand support onto deb based
platforms, and would be willing to provide assistance in the process
(especially with flushing out the underlying dependencies that needs to
be in place for the project to work on Debian)
The first step would be to checkout the various Aeolus components from
git and ensure they work on debian from the source. These can be done
one at a time, they don't have to all land in debian at once. Since you
mentioned imagefactory [1], perhaps that would be a logical place to start.
After that, we'd need to package the components, packaging should be
fairly straightforward but I'm not 100% sure as to how the debian review
and acceptance process works. If you have more experience this, we'd
love to hear your thoughts.
