Great! So hugin is going to be include in debian officially soon?

No, its just sift_keypoints. However, both of these utilities are 
obseleted by autopano and autopano-sift. I will cleanup the hugin 
source, and remove these parts from the main hugin package.

I have just removed these programs:
  - panosifter
  - automatch

After this cleanup, the only non GNU GPL sources included are the 
modified vigra sourcecode and the jhead sourcecode.

I have made some changes to the vigra library (mainly the code to 
read/write image files with alpha channel). I haven't merged the changes 
into back into the official vigra tree yet.

There was an old experimental autopano program included, before 
Alexandre's autopano became availabble.
