It's debcamp time :-)  Please propose a good time to meet up, if you
have any free time.  Also, I'm thinking about attending your intro to
packaging talk, because I'm always interested in ways to potentially
improve my work, or make it more efficient.

Finally, I'm not sure how many people there will be helping with the
workshop, but in case there's high attendance and you're short-staffed
I can help with intermediate-level packaging stuff, where to find
documentation, questions like "is there a dh_helper for that, and if
so, how do I learn to use it?", splitting src packages, advanced watch
files (exclude files with d/copyright, making +dfsg packages, repack
with different compression, and gpg signature verification),
intermediate d/copyright, d/control policy and conventions, a variety
of cases when a d/rules override is necessary, etc.  I would also take
care to only propose solutions that harmonize with your talk, because
that's important for intro-level courses!  (eg: avoid paradox of
choice effect)

If we meet up before then, maybe you could use this review to validate
if I'd be an asset to your workshop? ;-)

Nice quote!

Cordially,
