My impression is that Norbert and I have different goals:

Norbert has a bigger number of and more current packages.

I'm trying to create sets of packages that are more like distributions 
in the sense that they reach a stable state after some time. E.g. in my 
first set of packages for woody I've included several patches into 
XFree86 4.2.1-4 instead of putting XFree86 4.3.0 into these packages 
since they are already in a stable state.
