 I usually am a big fan of requesting only the informations that one
wants and not request everything and filter out much in the end. Maybe
it's my database background of preferring SELECT field instead of SELECT
* and then look for field only. Furthermore, it's easier to get people
on board that only care for the Debian or Ubuntu portion and not both of
them. A list doesn't cost much.

I am not aware of a term Propotion - and I suggest Packaging Team
instead, which is straight to the point.

 ... then I guess your typo was in the direction of Promotion, right?
Anyway, I think the team shouldn't suggest that promotion is its core
business, otherwise #391691 should had get solved right ahead.
. o O ( and for the record, I don't really agree with the reasoning in
that bugreport. nexuiz is based on the quake engine, that's a fact and
not a promotional trick )

 So long. :)
