It does, but I'm not sure how it will mesh with wanting to provide
packages for other distros that aren't so responsive as Debian or
up-to-date as Fedora.  I'll be happy to provide an RPM specfile for
-stable and -dev (since Fedora already does a -beta package) but that
may not be sufficient for the general clicky-package group.
