Hey Jonathan,
First, if you do contribute to uselessd, thank you very much.
I want to make sure I'm reading your paragraph correctly: The
Debian uselessd package cannot be finished in time to make it into
Jessie, so there will be no uselessd package in Jessie. Is that correct?
Let's say that, in six months from now, Debian's uselessd package is
ready for prime time. Would there be any reason some enterprising
person couldn't simply copy it to another repository (hopefully a
trusted one), so that people could add that repository and thus install
uselessd on Jessie?
Thanks,
