The 'xx New Debian i386 Packages' mail *is* the announcement I
mentioned earlier. Some developers also post the .changes file when
they upload it, but that's at their option. It really isn't
necessary.
I plan to make several improvements to the announcement format this
weekend:
- description given for new packages
- urgency field prominent
- better summary paragraph which lists packages of high urgency
- sorted by stable, unstable, contrib, non-free
Any other suggestions?
