Great, we need all the help we can get :-)
Just to be sure: you are a debian developer? If not, it makes it harder
to get your efforts into the archive.
Anyway, there are a large number of packages that need recompiling for
potato (frozen). I generate a daily list; see
http://master.debian.org/~paul/alpha/diff/ for details (there's also a
mailing list).
Note that if you compile something for potato, try to be up to date with
all the potato libs etc. Also you will need to edit the packages's
changelog most of the time to add "frozen" to the "unstable" (else it
doesn't end up in potato, only in woody, and we have a build daemon for
that).
