Long ago I packaged a version and uploaded to Debian Mentors, posted
on the debian-devel mailing list, updated packaging to track three
upstream version-bumps (and quite a few of the patches I made on it
ended up in upstream sflowtool too), but alas no Debian Developers
showed any interest in helping actually get it into Debian, so at some
point I gave up trying to keep it there. The irony is I suspect it is
because of sflowtool's non-standard license, but I had already
discussed with sflowtool's author and he suggested there was a good
chance their company would be open to changing license to a more
standard one (which they'd already done with another app of theirs
which got into Debian).

I included in my packaging a "debian-compliant" init script for
starting fanout sflowtool(s) based on vals in
/etc/default/sflowtool-forwarder. If interested I could dig it out of
my archives. It should be pretty easy to tweak the packaging for the
latest sflowtool version now - not much changes externally with it.
Systemd/etc is another story though...

I made an ixpm-sflow-to-rrd bundle too, which made Debian/Ubuntu sflow
setup a one-liner for ixpm. Could dig that out too if there's an
interest.
