Hi,
In this message, I explain about a plan of libhinawa ITP[0] to debian project. Fortunately, I got a help of a debian package maintainer, Kentaro Hayashi. He maintains groonga package[1] and experienced related works[2].
Currently, we plan to work for it in next month, February 2016. I have no idea about when FTP master acked to our ITP and when the package is released from debian project.
I with the package will be available as early as possible, and this work will be a part of his great work as a debian package maintainer.
FYI,
