yes... because the XSF (who is ultimately responsible for these packages, i'm
just doing the gruntwork) communicated a strong dislike of anything
cdbs-flavored, the packages were built from scratch.

indeed. i don't know how much cooperation is possible on the packaging level
given the cdbs issue, but i'm always open to trying anything to improve
things. how are you guys currently staying in sync with the upstream git and
all the various source packages, for example? with all the source packages
from day one i saw this being a problem, and i'm currently exploring ways
around the issue, or at least to lower the total overhead. for example, one
idea i'm toying with right now is moving the various source packages into a
smaller set of debian native packages, where the the former source packages
are git submodules.
anyway, i'm not incredibly available right now for doing any serious work
until i get back from vacation and resituated at work/home--so maybe we can
discuss this further after the 10th or 11th or so?
