I have been thinking about the bootstrapping of pakages lately. I am
involved in bootstrapping a partial system -- no kernel and no libc --
for some architectures for internal use. And I just thought that we
could use one trick to help in the bootstrap of packages that depend
on other shared librar

Because doing so is like ensuring there will be some systems that don’t
work correctly, wasting our time on bug

Other places, yes. Not in the FHS.
So, being halfway serious: Debian wants FHS to document it before we can
use it, and the FHS wants to document current practice. Clearly, we need
someone in the Fedora project to start us

Hi.
I've also had/have several times problems with those meta pacakges
forcing me to install stuff I don't like (or I consider even unsecure).
NM is surely an example of this (just grep CVE in the changelog).
Another one is gnome-bluetooth... there are so many systems which don't
have bluetooth
Thanks a lot!

Hello there!
My name is Björn Esser and I'm from near Hannover, Germany. I want to
contribute to the debian project and so I am looking for a sponsor
(preferred with German as native). I hope, I'm in the right place here
for asking.
