Fine by me. It's quite proper that the ‘docutils-writer-foo’ package (FSVO ‘foo’) becomes obsolete as the ‘foo’ writer gets merged into the Docutils core. > If nobody objects to this arrangement, I'll ask for the separate > writers to be removed from testing when python-docutils is otherwise > ready to migrate (it won't migrate normally, since the separate > writers would become uninstallable).

That's the end-user package that people are generally looking for when they want the writer. Perhaps ‘docutils’ 0.6 should ‘Provides: rst2man, rst2odt’ or the like? > Unrelated to 0.6, I've been thinking about handing over > python-docutils to someone else - I hardly use it myself, and I'm not > really in touch with upstream, so I'd welcome a takeover from anyone > who can give it more attention than me. The package metadata (as of ‘docutils’ version 0.5-5) has: Maintainer: Debian Python Modules Team <python-modules-team@lists.alioth.debian.org> Uploaders: martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org>, Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org> Is that sufficient, or were you wanting a different arrangement? -- \ “Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to | `\ think.” —Niels Bohr | _o__) | Ben Finney
