I am wrong or we abolished release-goals some time ago? What I mean is:
didn't we decide to release the stable part of the distribution every 4
months without trying to reach some (by definition) unreachable goal?
I think a list of Debian-goals is a Good Thing (TM) anyway, even if
the goals are not release-critical.

How much of the FHS do we want to implement?

PAM is now stable, right?

My small HD would appreciate the two above... even if the gain
in space is small (you know, laptops 2.5 disks cost a *lot* of money)

That's me. Yes I think is feasible. I am slowly working toward integrating
the tex macros fontinst and DTM to make ps fonts available to tex/latex.
I am also writing a gui in perlgtk. I will release something i a couple
of weeks and I will be glad if the maintainers of packages that use/install
fonts can have a look at the stuff.
