The wishlist responses on-list so far have been great, so I will
contribute a few "meta" wishes that I hope will improve quality and
reduce cruft:

- Continued focus on the packages and libraries needed for the build
  toolchains and JDK runtime.

- Guidance/recipes for upstream application packaging that can run on
  Debian without necessarily being packaged for Debian (main).  This is
  to avoid the transitive dependency packaging difficulties we have with
  many modern JVM-based applications.

- Better packaging toolchain documentation to make it easier to
  maintain the packages we do have.

- Less version drift from upstream (where possible).

Thank you for compiling the list, and happy new year!
