And we have debian/TODO for that as well imho.
What is important imho is to have proper ITP filed and notified where
this draft package resides. And that might be also a reasonable place
where to mention why ITP is not yet fulfilled
Also within blends we have Pkg-URL field, so whoever is looking for a
draft package of the software of interest they can find it.
Making draft packages available to public before all corners are
polished is one of the reasons we have http://neuro.debian.net
repository available. And together with blends information/tasks it
provides means for proper presentation of the package online until it
appears at packages.debian.org as well, e.g.:
http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/jist.html
