* GPG as standard signature for packages
* Bugs mentioned in changelog closed automatically upon package installation
* Developer controlled automatic archive maintenance (eg removal of packages
automatically after GPG signed email with list of packages to delete)
* Lintian check by default at end of dpkg-buildpackage
* Autocompilation support
* Non-interactive package configuration available (not default)
* Better package selection for large networks of Debian (eg easier
centralized control/maintenance/install of 20+ Debian machines)
That's all that comes to mind right now, any other suggestions?
Martin.
