  Description     : provides for the dynamic modification of a user's environment

 The Environment Modules package provides for the dynamic modification 
 of a user's environment via modulefiles.

 Each modulefile contains the information needed to configure the shell 
 for an application. Once the Modules package is initialized, the 
 environment can be modified on a per-module basis using the module 
 command which interprets modulefiles. Typically modulefiles instruct 
 the module command to alter or set shell environment variables such as 
 PATH, MANPATH, etc. modulefiles may be shared by many users on a system 
 and users may have their own collection to supplement or replace the 
 shared modulefiles.

 Modules can be loaded and unloaded dynamically and atomically, in an 
 clean fashion. All popular shells are supported, including bash, ksh, 
 zsh, sh, csh, tcsh, as well as some scripting languages such as perl.

 Modules are useful in managing different versions of applications.  
 Modules can also be bundled into metamodules that will load an entire 
 suite of different applications.

I second the RFP.  [1]

I have also found that some at fist glance decent debian packages have been
produced already by David Ham and Stephan Kramer [2]. Their debian/copyright
file looks OK to use this as a basis for an official debian package.

I would like to see the debian package be compatible with the ones in EPEL [3]
... but of course the debian ones should be better!

I would be willing to co-maintain, I am not a debian developer though.
