Perhaps the existing Gnome maintainers interested could help by working on
the packages in CVS? This takes some load off of Peter who is currently
trying to do the whole Debianization process as well as upstream work
himself and helps to guarantee that the packages are getting the attention
of people who (hopefully) have experience dealing with the Debian
packages and those people could upload the Helix packages to Debian since
frankly by comparison the Debian packages are usually outdated and buggy.
Perhaps that is too much of a simple and logical solution.
