I think Daniel's quality standards are not exceptionally high, or low,

But the other comments he makes, regarding: proper attribution of
copyright (even in sponsored packages that already have a version in
Debian proper---people not used to academia are not familiar with the
importance of this), his comments about keeping debian/rules minimal
(changing the rules, not eliminating commented entries) etc are quite
useful, his advices to make the changes minimal in a diff.gz package.
All this is "common sense", but many people don't seem to apply "common
sense" to the programs that they write.
