We need to discuss with ftp-masters if we can get an exemption from
the non-standard-toplevel-dir lintian rule (see this bug [1]). I am
still planning to write a request to them, do you know if
ftpmaster@debian.org would be the right address to start this
discussion?
Furthermore I am waiting for the 2.2 Nix upstream release (see here [2])
the master was not buildable for me the last time I tried it (see here
[3]).
Help with this or some of the other minor issues is welcome.
