Re: changing priorities
In general, I like the names and descriptions better than what we have
currently. However, I see a problem with the criterion for "getting
something into common". It is likely that some maintainers will take
it as an insult to have their package "demoted" to common, and to

I might be tempted to respond with:
Package: task-steveg-favorites
Depends: ddclient, jargon, cern-httpd
Now of course that's rather silly, not to mention completely
in-approrpriate, but given the current growth in task packages and the
resistance to Joey's clean-up proposal, I can see it happening. We
might well end up with the ftp maintainers stuck having to apply
overrides, which will make good sense to most of us, but lead to cries
of censorship and cabal from those affected.
No, I don't have a better solution right now, just picking holes.
