Why.
If I see this right Zenaan is planning the depandencies for the meta packages
he wants to build. As long as there is no debian-enterprise list created
he has no other chance than using debian-devel to discuss this topics.
It was the same for Debian-Jr, Debian-Med, etc and nobody thought that
this whould not fit into Debian framework.

Which is a problem for Debian and not for Debian-Enterprise or any other
"Custom Debian Distribution".
