As I said in the previous email, I'll set up repositories for both
projects on git.hohndel.org. I'll need ssh keys for that, please.

I'm thinking subsurface-companion and subsurface-webservice as
repository names - let me know if you want something else.

Aurélien, one more request... your package should be
org.hohndel.subsurface (which is our official domain)

we unfortunately don't own the subsurface.org domain; While it isn't
being used by anyone (no nameservers can be found for it), it is taken
:-(
