Certainly. I currently refrain myself from reading -devel (it seems like we are in this state of the release cycle where flame wars and complicated discussions increase.....and I try saving my own time for productive work) but I would appreciate a summary in case things and ideas converge (good luck for this..:-)) Another thing we encourage in Smith is the use of good boilerplates in package descriptions, for multi-binary packages....The point is having a repetitive part common to all packages of a give source package, that is the description of the general use of the "framework" and 1 or 2 specific paragraphs for each binary package saying things like "This package provides the development files for <foo>", etc. A good example of this is the recent review of "nut" templates....that was one of the most complicated review we did (mostly because this is one of the few where the maintainer gave advices...:-)) That review starts at http://lists.debian.org/debian-l10n-english/2009/03/msg00025.html ...and turned out into #520591.... I suggest interested parties to look at debian/control for nut before and after the review..:-)
