Oh. right. I had asked about that last year. Vorlon, i think it was,
said something like "packaging web aps is fraught with peril". So I
let it go then. What packaging skills I had are very rusty, so I'm not
sure I know what he meant. But, in principle, I agree if it can be done
that it would be worthwhile to have summit and all the dependencies
packaged in debian. I would even like to work on that. But, probably not
right now given our more pressing needs. It's something to file a bug
about, perhaps. ;)

He mentioned that, particularly for sponsorship, some things need to be
kept confidential. I'm only talking about summit right now.

Certainly. I'm only sorry I didn't get to it sooner. Thanks for your
response.
