In future, please use X-Debbugs-CC, so that the recipients get your bug
numbers too and so they can CC the bug.

I will try and do that in the future. I wasn't sure how to add a custom
header in my email client, but I think I have it figured out.

The upstream package name conflicts with the existing package loki
("MCMC linkage analysis on general pedigrees"). However, that package is
"dead upstream" (according to debian/watch), so perhaps this package can
get the name eventually. Name suggestions are appreciated.
Since Loki is a relatively generic name used for many different things,
personally I think no one package should use the unqualified name. For
example the Loki C++ library distinguishes itself as loki-lib. The name
loki-database seems a good choice for the software you are packaging.
OK, thanks for the feedback.

Grafana itself live in another source package and will be a separate effort.
Since Grafana was in Debian before and was removed due to being
orphaned, outdated and RC-buggy, please note the extra steps required
when reintroducing packages; base your new package on the latest
version of the old package (such as from the old now archived VCS),
unarchive/reopen and triage bugs closed by the removal and reopen and
triage security issues closed by the removal.

I will keep that in mind. But I was not planning to package grafana any
time soon (perhaps I should have used "would" and not "will"). I think I
have my hands full with Loki. Actually, I would view getting just
promrus packaged as a good starting point, since it should be useful on
its own (as you can run Loki on a non-debian server or use the cloud
version).
