Name:  debian-blends
Rationale: The rationale behind this is that
 the debian-custom list is overloaded with to in principle
 different topics:

  1. Issues concerning Custom Debian Distributions which
     are now renamed to Debian Pure Blends.  This fact
     itself might be a valid reason to register a new
     list - but the old list might have worked so far if
     the list description would have been fixed.
  2. Issues regarding SimpleCDD and ways how to customize
     your very own customized Debian.  This discussion is
     orthogonal to the sense of Debian Pure Blends and is
     finally the main reason for this whole stupid renaming
     business: Bluring the topic because of missunderstandings
     of the concept.

 While the discussion of issues of type 2 is perfectly valid
 we just would leave the old list which was intended to serve
 as discussion forum for CDDs / Blends to those who like to
 do other things and ask for a new mailing list debian-blends.

Short description: Development issues of Debian Pure Blends.

Long description: Debian Pure Blends (formerly known as Custom
 Debian Distributions) provide support for special user interests.
 They implement a new approach to cover interests of specialised
 users, who might be children, lawyers, medical staff, visually
 impaired people, etc. Of late, several Debian Pure Blends have
 evolved. The common goal of those is to make installation and
 administration of computers for their target users as easy as
 possible, and to serve in the role as the missing link between
 software developers and users well.

So I foreward this mail to debian-custom and hope that people
will go on posting their interest.
