It's not a good idea to call the "base" in my opinion even though I
currenly can't come up with a better name. But at first glance, it makes
it look as if it belongs to base-passwd, base-config and base-files,
which are all very basic packages installed on every Debian system. And
if you are looking for a sponsor (I can't sponsor you anyway), you
should start a thread in the debian-mentors list clearly marked with
"RFS" in the subject.
Also you should file an ITP bug against the wnpp pseudo package at
bugs.debian.org and close it in your changelog. It doesn't seem to me
like you did that yet.
