Actually, that makes it less than two years to date, with the project being effectively unmaintained for about half of that period plus being a challenge with regard to licensing. Not too bad, I'd say.

No need for the command line, any apt frontend (synaptic, etc) will work.

They are all there (except plush, for the time being), in separate binary packages, same as with the ppa.

Indeed. I guess I'll also give changing the status of the unrar, unzip, and par2 deps some thought, crowd control is a bit easier via a forum post + ppa than with people installing from Ubuntu's archives
