+ <h2>Introduction</h2>
+
+ <p class="text">NEW checking is about three things. In order of
+ priority:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>trying to keep the archive legal;</li>
+
+ <li>trying to keep the package namespace sane;</li>
+
+ <li>trying to reduce the number of bugs in Debian.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p class="text">This is a checklist of major points to check while processing
+ the <a href="http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html";>NEW queue</a>. It is not
+ meant to be an exhaustive reference, but it gives a quick overview of the
+ most important points FTP Team will look after; developers should check these
+ points prior of uploading a package in NEW to save time for both parties.
+ Visit this list from time to time, as we may change points or add new ones.</p>
