We should get rid of the dbs, I think! (I'm also a member, although not a
horribly active one at the current time.)
Again, though, the interesting population is not the full set of packages,
but rather the set of packages that have non-debian modifications (with
for the Perl group is generally fairly small).
(I don't mean to be asking you to do more work! That's not the goal at
all, and I do appreciate your comments. It's possible that I'm misreading
the general trend, and the statistics you have are very interesting. I'm
just not sure how much the percentages mean when compared against all
packages instead of the relevant set.)
