> - why is this package useful/relevant?
I believe this is the development trend most of the world is currently
aiming for, and that, like with other recent questionable development
practices, Debian should at least acknowledge its existance, but not
embrace it.
Good luck with your effort. I do admit that I am a bit skeptical since the authors usually fail to provide any sensible explanation to their commands, notwithstanding the claims that everything be in proper order. Not to mention no single contributor takes responsibility for the issues that are introduced again and again...
