I think I forgot to mention: when I created your trac account I also 
added bbreporter.py as a component in the ticket system, with you as the 
owner, so tickets can be filed against it. Commits to svn can update the 
ticket using certain keywords (have a look at Chris's extensive commit 
history for some very good examples!).

AFAIK there aren't any "official" packages, but the RPM spec file is in 
contrib/ so feel free to create a patch that puts it in 
$PREFIX/share/box/contrib or something. I might go ahead and do the same 
for my FreeBSD port.
