Hi all I've read the debian news announcement today (http://www.debian.org/News/2009/20090730). What got me very interested was the part about a new package format (in my oppinion this area can be vastly improved, and I'm interested in contributing). Searching the list archives I was unable to find any discussion relating to that, except for the multi-arch spec and a discussion that took place way back in 1999. Is there anything I might have missed?
