Wouldn't comp.os.linux.distrib.debian.* or something similar be
better? If users of other distributions decide that they'd like to
have newsgroups too, things would be pretty confusing with
c.o.l.{debian,redhat,caldera,slackware,craftworks,yggdrasil,wgs,
linux-ft}.* etc.

I agree with this. There are probably be many people who would be
able to help newbies, but who wouldn't read debian.install.

And isn't debian-devel the correct place for technical discussion, not
a new list or newsgroup?
