I think it would not be useful to put ccicons in a separate package,
possible a little counter productive. The ubuntu manual team always uses
the latest version of latex, but we have some people that wish to use
packages only, we would like to do as much as we can to help with the
packaging process.
Is there any guide on contribution/how to start? I have done some
packaging before but nothing this complex. Also how much is different
from the way latex 2009 is packaged?
