hmmm... hey... that could be my full-time job! example: these packages currently don't rebuild due to a "unpackaged files found" problem: http://eijk.homelinux.org/build/cooker/i586/unpackaged_files/ how to handle this? 1/ fill in individual bug reports for each package? 2/ wait untill the packagers bump into them (one by one)? 3/ announce on cooker? 4/ fix it yourself an upload (if you can)!
