It seems the GNUStep team is seriously lacking some help to upload its packages. I can only assume that there is no DD on your team (or that the team consists of one person). I am will to help with this transition by reviewing prepared packages and uploading. What exactly do you think is needed, all uploads related to [1]? Are the specific for this transition, or can they be done beforehand straight into unstable? How sure are you that they are real problems, I read you say they *may* lead to issues. Is there a way to check? Which bugs you think *must* be fixed for this transition to be successful? I have one request. As I don't know GNUStep and its apps (I haven't used any package of it before that I am aware of) I would like to see a README.testing in the source packages that describe how I can perform (simple) checks that the package works. We started adding these README.testing files to packages maintained by the accessibility team to aid team members and I really like the idea. For an example of what I mean you can look at daisy-player [1]. Paul [1] http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-a11y/daisy-player.git;a=blob_plain;f=debian/README.testing
