It has a few dependencies, yes.  Let us know how it goes.

IIRC GNUstep packages don’t use the GNU build system (./configure &&
make), but rather gnustep-make, right?

If that is the case, a good way to help with GNUstep packaging would be
to implement a ‘gnustep-build-system’ embodying GNUstep’s build system
idioms.  That is a bit more involved, but I (or others here) can help.
