Thanks Tobias for this work, I truly think Debian will benefit a lot from it. I already filed an ITS: #909663. The Developer's Reference was smooth to follow, I just have a couple of impressions to share: 1. Writing the bug was a bit strange, as it was not clear to me whom was it addressed to. Ideally its objective is to warn the current maintainer about the ITS, but it feels more like writing to debian-devel to justify the salvaging. In my case it also felt like writing to whoever I will ask to sponsor the salvaging upload. I ended up writing it in a rather impersonal form. 2. The Reference says "you must inform all maintainers, uploaders and if applicable the packaging team explicitly by adding them to X-Debbugs-CC". I followed this literally and added an X-Debbugs-CC to the maintainer's address, but this is probably not necessary as the maintainer already gets a copy of the email. Cheers, Paride
