Debian etch is now really old, and I think no longer supported by
Debian, so lenny (the current stable release) would be the natural
choice. Lenny should be feasible, but requires that a fairly large
number of packages be backported from squeeze, so it's quite a bit more
work. I'll do packages for squeeze first, and then we'll see about
lenny.

That's something I'd like to do, too, but it requires two domain names. 
I'll see about adding support for either solution, since it should be
easy enough.

You're welcome.
