Hey, reading you I figured out that all newcomers are required to have 
contributions in Debian, which means *new packages*.

So, yes I understand your point, but perhaps it's also the symptom of a more 
important issue: initial contributions to Debian often mean preparing new 
packages.

Shouldn't we think about other alternatives in order to enforce contributions 
besides creating packages ?
