If I were you I would've stated what the module path is in the package description for the convenience of those who need to know where they are - not that you can't figure it out otherwise, just be faster that way.
Oh, also, you're really awesome for finally doing this. The lack of a standardized place for these drivers, or any apt-based way to add these drivers to a device during install of something that depends on them, has been a very irritating situation. (I've been meaning to eventually do this myself, but I am a hopelessly broadly interested individual who has way too many things going on in my life at any time to actually get everything I want to get done done. This being one of those things, like almost everything else I want to do with the N900 / Maemo.) So thank you.
As for lxp, and whether or not he wants to be the maintainer - I would e-mail him, in my experience he responds to e-mails, but doesn't necessarily pay attention to what's going on here.

I'm still unsure about this being a significant problem. Has anyone ever tested how much power is used with one driver vs. the other?
