Please follow the guidelines for new lists at
http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/HOWTO_start_list
Name: debian-blends
Rationale: The rationale behind this is that
the debian-custom list is overloaded with to in principle
different topics:
1. Issues concerning Custom Debian Distributions which
are now renamed to Debian Pure Blends. This fact
itself might be a valid reason to register a new
list - but the old list might have worked so far if
the list description would have been fixed.
2. Issues regarding SimpleCDD and ways how to customize
your very own customized Debian. This discussion is
orthogonal to the sense of Debian Pure Blends and is
finally the main reason for this whole stupid renaming
business: Bluring the topic because of missunderstandings
of the concept.
While the discussion of issues of type 2 is perfectly valid
we just would leave the old list which was intended to serve
as discussion forum for CDDs / Blends to those who like to
do other things and ask for a new mailing list debian-blends.
Short description: Development issues of Debian Pure Blends.
Long description: Debian Pure Blends (formerly known as Custom
Debian Distributions) provide support for special user interests.
They implement a new approach to cover interests of specialised
users, who might be children, lawyers, medical staff, visually
impaired people, etc. Of late, several Debian Pure Blends have
evolved. The common goal of those is to make installation and
administration of computers for their target users as easy as
possible, and to serve in the role as the missing link between
software developers and users well.

After filing the request, it would be very much appreciated if several
other people interested in the new list would send a mail to the bug,
in order to record their interest.
So I foreward this mail to debian-custom and hope that people
will go on posting their interest.
Yours,
Cord, Debian Listmaster of the day
Thanks to you and the listmaster of the other days. ;-)
Andreas.
