Looks like the visible undercurrents started back in '97...
http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-devel-9710/msg00224.html
...and that was way back when people were thinking about the libc6
transition.
Then someone had to start the "Debian development modem" thread
(http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-devel-9805/msg01479.html)
which triggered a nice tangent from Bdale Garbee:
http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-devel-9805/msg01632.html
...Which is about the closest thing to a proposal I'm willing to fetch you
at this hour of the morning. :)
I suggest reading that whole thread. That month (May '98 - month #2 of the
hamm freeze - coincidence or no? :) is when most of these discussions were
happening before.
No big deal, I'll just pull this message out of the web archives during
month #2 of the potato freeze so the next guy who suggests it can read
up on that too. :)
