Hi,
A good package description is important, because sysadmin often decide
to install a package (or not), base on it's description.
Shouldn't we suggest/require that the descriptions in ITP bugs includes
the intended description for the package? (as opposed to a mere copy of
upstream description)

The requirement might be raised to 2.6.27
(which is higher that the one in Lenny).

Hello,
As I was updating the copyright file in a package, I wondered if it
would be useful to add an optional header (named "Binary-Package" or
whatever), to state which binary package is using that file and license.
The rational is that sooner or later, we will want to use the

Hi all,
I have written a small script to make it easy to submit manpage
improvements (it's attached).
I believe that it much more effective to submit a patch, rather than
explaining what needs to be improved. The tool works like quilt, dpatch

First of all, let's make it clear, Debian is not THE universal operating
system. I mean it is definitely not the one and only OS.
Is Debian an universal operating system?

Hello,
I am preparing a document to advocate further use of open-source
software in my organization.
I am looking for some statistics of the [main] licenses used in Debian
