Hey! Stop that really-fast-Debian-hive-mind business already! I was just
about to post here. ;)

Fifth Toe, etc., are some time away yet - we're only releasing the desktop
components thus far. (You'll find that not many of the FT apps have even
started porting; at least publically.)

Some/most applications will *not* parallel install; I really didn't make
that clear in the release notes at all (I was referring just to the
developer platform at that stage).
I don't recommend providing gnome2 desktop packages unless we have some
funky, /opt-gross-out install location. ;)

I haven't really seen anyone taking a leadership role in GNOME packaging for
Debian - I think it would be a welcome change. I'm happy to pop my head in
with info, and to answer questions and the like, but having someone as the
'figure-head' for Debian's GNOME would be great.
Who's up for it? :)
