It would need to run on a desktop as well as on the tablet, it would need to expose all the control file fields, and it could even hand-hold through the whole autobuilder process...
Or how about: Did anybody recommend it as a Fremantle star?

On-device packaging really isn't a realistic solution for everybody (or even most people), anyway. Though there's certainly no reason the debmaster couldn't lend a hand and help Khertan out a bit.

Either way, the job isn't just "helping people packaging", it's also going to include work on the repositories, maemo.org and Extras.
