Sorry, but I don't think we need a package for something like adding a
cron job that does e.g. starts weekly wget to download the latest Contents
files.

We have currently over 100 open RFPs. If I find the time to complete it
I'd e.g. like to send a list of open RFPs to debian-devel - and I don't
want that the RFPs for programs that should be packaged to be hidden
behind such RFPs like this one.
I'd really like to close this RFP.
