This is bacause, if something goes wrong, I will be lost to do debugging. But after seeing your slides, this may be interesting tool. If you can give nice short pointer and example document on cdbs including information how to handle debugging, it may be an interesing additon to nm-guide. nm-guide is currently hosted at DDP CVS. http://www.debian.org/doc/cvs http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/ If you can made good diff, why not add it since I see many people use it.
