That seems simple enough.

I think your best bet is this:

1) make sure control/locals does not contain packages.debian.org

add this line to control/virtualdomains:

  packages.debian.org:alias-packages


create ~alias/.qmail-packages-default, containing:

  |forward "`/usr/local/bin/pkg2maint $EXT2`"



write /usr/local/bin/pkg2maint, which is a program that takes a package name, 
and puts the maintainers e-mail address on its STDOUT.

The only extra thing to have pkg2maint do is output an address that will cause 
the mail to bounce if the maintainer cannot be found 
([EMAIL PROTECTED] might work)

Anyone already have the pkg2maint code already written ?

Cheers, Phil.
