[Ubuntu] SAGA on ubuntugis proposal

[Alan Boudreault]

Hi Giovanni! I hope you enjoyed your trip in our region :)

I think it would be a very nice addition to get SAGA into DebianGIS and 
UbuntuGIS. Your software doesn't need to be under the OSGeo umbrella at all. 
The only think you need is a debian maintainer to prepare/update the package. 
Do you have a debian package maintainer into your organization?

regards,
Alan
