I'm interested in knowing on which base you worked for this: Savannah
or Gforge?

You're really very kind and I thank you, but for now I still can't
answer this question both because I feel the urge to clear some issues
with the DeMuDi team (the fact that I was appointed tech manager for
DeMuDi just ten days ago doesn't help in this respect, of course :) )

That's true, but given that we still don't know how many Debian "pure"
packages how many DeMuDi packages there will be, some sort of
filter-in-the-middle is IMHO needed.

agreed.

Only if DeMuDi will be part of Debian standard, which is not clear at
this point. Please note that I have nothing against Debian and I'm
trying to find a solution to maximise integration - together with you
and with the rest of the DeMuDi team, since each part knows what its
own aims and its obligations are - but there might be problems which
could not allow this.
