Sorry - I was unaware of such articulated policy for this team. If simply a personal opinion of yours, then I can add that some consider it irrelevant generally to file ITP bugreports. Personally I find it relevant to file ITP bugreports for any and all packages, also Perl packages which I guess are similarly "irrelevant" to report about as Haskell libraries. I find that doing so signals activity and invites comments earliest possible - before involving ftpmaster. Duplicated work is IMO ont the only reason for ITP bugs - also comments on e.g. how package descriptions are phrased and whether it might make sense to mention related similar functionality available elsewhere in Debian, or perhaps point out a risk of potential licensing clash. In short, I find that ITP bugreports is a great way for a single package to "touch base" with the general Debian development community. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
