The acronym wall and general surliness of the various posters makes contributing to debian much less inviting than it might be. I, too, am a volunteer and have little time for attitude. Much better for me to go where I can be productive.

b) I think that there is actually very little interest for
Hadoop/HBase/ZooKeeper packages _in_ Debian. ( There is interest for packages
_from_ Cloudera or Apache _for_ Debian, but that's something else.) Even the
company I worked for switched to use the Cloudera distribution, because they
felt more confident about it. Now there'll be the Bigtop project and people
will rather use the "official" apache releases which are tested by
Yahoo/Facebook/Cloudera then the Debian packages.
So without any discussion about ZooKeepers Code quality, it might just not be
worth to do the packaging work if nobody wants to use it.
