Hi Henry

(Note that according to my previous N.B. at the end of my mail, I dropped 
the explicit CC, assuming that you are subscribed to debian-printing@l.d.o).

Great.

As soon as you begin to work on the package; that means now. When working on 
existing package, writing the ITP is easier as you can steal^Wtake the 
existing descriptions and such from the existing package. Do do it "The 
Right Way", you could set the X-Debbugs-CC pseudo-header to this list so 
that the people subscribed will see it.

(FWIW, I'll be away from any type of internet access for the next 4 days, so 
don't expect fast answers until then.)

Cheers,
