You're right, but (for what concerns me) I am a bit busy with real life in these days. > Likewise Emanuele Rocca seemed interested.

I found the time to check -battery-plugin and -clipman-plugin, and I must admit that they're not in a good shape (ITP bugs not closed in the changelog, bugs marked as fixed are actually still reproducible, lintian is not happy)... I don't want to be rude, but I am wondering if Rudy is the right person for these 13 packages, considering that he's got 9 packages in main yet.
