Hi!

Terrific! I also would like to see this getting packaged and ideally
even entering Debian. Maybe I can help a bit packaging it.

I advise against directly using dpkg-divert for config file diversions.
That may cause issues later when attempting to upgrade the package. In
my opinion config-package-dev [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] provides a fine
abstraction to handle this in a more tested and robust way.

If you're interested, you could have a look at the anon-base-files [6]
package as example, which diverts a few config files. For such simple
[7] config package, I also think the files structure of the
anon-base-files package is simpler.

So if you're interested in my help, I could do the initial packaging,
i.e. getting files in place, diverting config files... But it would be
up to you to get the actual ram wipe working.

Could you make the github readme English by default?

Cheers,
Patrick

[0] http://debathena.mit.edu/config-packages/
[1] >= 5.1.1
[2] with debhelper support (don't bother CDBS)
[3] https://packages.debian.org/wheezy-backports/config-package-dev
[4] only a build dependency
[5] not an install dependency
[6] https://github.com/Whonix/anon-base-files
[7] The packaging seems simple at first. Figuring out the config (Thanks
to the Tails devs!) is anything but simple.
