It should be probably possible to define some reasonable debtags to
decide whether a screenshot makes sense or not. The role::* tag comes
definitely to mind, any package that sets uitoolkit::* and x11::* also
should have a screenshot. BTW, I'm also in favour od screenshots for
consol applications with a pure text interface. Having a screenshot
very quickly informs the user what he can expect. I'm missing some
general advise how to make such screenshots. I guess a somehow
standardised setting for the xterm that should be screenshot might make
sense (regarding colors, fonts). Because it might make some extra
burden for people who like to help with screenshots it would be cool to
have some script, say screenshot-term, that fires up such a terminal
with the proper options.
Kind regards
Andreas.
