Yes, broadly speaking you're true...however I think that a first 
"suboptimal" packaging would be a very good idea.

Look at this: 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/08/msg00005.html
Assuming that Etch will be release in time (we're doing our roadmap, so 
we can ignore the delay that etch has now), you can see that a general 
freeze is scheduled for Wed 18 Oct 06.
Some remarks:
1) if the official mantainer don't reply, we have to contact someone to 
sponsor our effort: first time delay, say one week (in my opinion, it's 
optimistic, but I could be wrong)
2) having found a sponsor, our package go in Sid: 2 days.
3) The minimum time amout required by dak to have our package accepted 
in testing/Etch from unstable/Sid is, as you know, 10 days.
4) We can expect to find some bugs...if someone will find only a single 
RC bug (as an FTBFS or uninstallability) in the meantime, we must add: 5 
days to resolve and re-package, 10 days for another transition from Sid 
to Etch.

So I say: we can also package like Christian one, and trying to put in 
to testing. In the meantime, you/we can continue working on your very 
good proposal: as you imagine, my first concern is to be late for this 
Debian release.

I don't know phing, but for me is fine :)

I imagine that you know well DFSG license compliance, in every case take 
a look for example at
