I thought the Helix-Gnome guy was a Debian developer?
If so, and if the other Gnome maintainers are letting their packages stagnate
because of Helix's work, maybe it would be better to move those into the
official Debian archives and make the Helix guy their maintainer..that would
make things better for woody users at least (although stable users will be
stuck with an obsolete version of Gnome for the next eighteen months or so :( )
