The hint about DEP was partially to give a sense for the usual,
informal process for making changes happen.  It's complicated. :)

It's true that there is no obvious place for feature suggestions with
no individual taking responsibility (I am hesitant to suggest the
"general" pseudopackage).  I suppose wiki.debian.org and the
debian-project or debian-devel lists might be good places for those,
with the obvious caveat that if no one is inspired, they might be
forgotten.
