this might be something that should be shipped by Debian. Do you already
know of some users of bluetile on Debian that would benefit from such a
package?

Is there a chance to merge the -bluetilebranch’es into the mainline, so
that bluetile and xmonad can use the same library? Otherwise, packaging
it for Debian will be quite some hassle.

Ah, ok, there is the answer :-). Jan, please make sure you ping me once
it’s possible to build bluetile against the released versions of xmonad
and xmonad-core.

Greetings,
