I agree, fwiw.
On that topic, is there a list/page/something somewhere with the goals of this
project? As far as I'm concerned, I want to work towards having a
debian-packaging system on the *bsds, rather than anything else. That's
the thing I miss most on bsd systems, rather than the lack of true-gnu
tools (for the most part, if I need them I can install them from ports,
or they're already part of the base system, or the base system's
versions work well enough).
