I use it actively myself, too.
The main reason for hesitating have been security concerns (or my lack of
in-depth knowledge in that field): SQL-Ledger is not secure by itself, and
I would not take responsibility of packaging SQL-Ledger in a way making a
default install insecure.
I have now decided to simply not activate the program by default, and
together with activation instructions in README.Debian make it clear that
security ought to be dealt with by other means.
If the package does not show up in two weeks from today, I pass on the
task to you, Michael, if you like.
Happy Newyear!
