If I wanted to do that, I would be
contributing my time to the debian-w32 port effort. I'm simply trying to
get my favourite packaging tool available for my use, and share it with
others if they want it.

I guess also people at http://debian-cygwin.sourceforge.net/ should appreciate it, given the fairly "complicated" boot system they suggest (changing passwd and groups to be 0/0, installing dpkg.exe in sbin, installing with it, then removing it... surely not for the casual user).

Thumbs up for me.
