[DebianGIS] team



Hi all.
D-gis package maintenance in the last year has been often complicated and 
slow, both because of the limited time some of you have for this and (perhaps 
more importantly) because of the tight integration among the most important 
applications (gdal, geos, postgis, grass, qgis, mapserver; see the recent 
thread about C++ ABI). I am particularly sorry not seeing packaged the 
ogr-grass-plugin (part of gdal), whose development I proudly sponsored, but 
also other applications have their issues.
I have read yesterday an interesting thread:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/12/msg01034.html
where team maintenance is suggested as a way to speed up things. This point 
has also been raised a few times on this list. What do DD think about this?
If this is not a good solution, are there better suggestions?
Please note: I am not blaming any of our precious packagers, just trying to 
make things smoother.
All best wishes.
