Well, I got nowhere trying to locate the denemo.spec file for RPM or
debian directory with contents - though I notice we have a
denemo.spec.in file already. 
Does it make sense for someone to contribute these to our sources?

The situation at present is that an experienced LilyPond developer is
unable to test run Denemo because he cannot install the development
libraries to build it without dependency problems with stuff he already
has and the GNU/Linux binary does not work on his Ubuntu system.
It means that the easiest way people can try the latest Denemo is to use
a proprietary operating system, which is Bad.
