Ehm:

| You should set the subject of the bug to ITP: foo -- short
| description, substituting the name of the new package for foo. The
| severity of the bug report must be set to wishlist. Please send a copy
| to <debian-devel@lists.debian.org> by using the X-Debbugs-CC header
| (don't use CC:, because that way the message's subject won't indicate
| the bug number). If you are packaging so many new packages (>10) that
| notifying the mailing list in seperate messages is too disruptive, do
| send a summary after filing the bugs to the debian-devel list
| instead. This will inform the other developers about upcoming packages
| and will allow a review of your description and package name.

I think this bug should be closed again.
