Don't want to upload a broken package. I don't have experience in telegram, hence I cannot make an approval. Furthermore I don't need telegram. I am doing this that maemo hopefully reach a wide audience and try to bring more packages to extras. This is for me the only way to support maemo. I am not a millionare, I cannot code maemo to the next level, but I can clean up a little bit, writing tutorials and helping others.

I can upload the source so everyone could build it on there own. But if somebody would intend to do so, it would be already compiled and posted.
For me it takes much time to make a deb package, especially if the makefile install script is not working don't know so much about it. Patching is faster than debianizing. This is what I learned and know.
So when nobody really interested in this, I stop here I have enough other projects. Would be a nice challenge for me to fix the makefile and make a deb but I do not want to do useless stuff.
