Here's a mockup image about the placement:

I also find having both "Mailing lists" and "Mailing lists archives" on 
the front page redundant. I would prefer to have both mailing list URLs 
together and use that space to show foruns.debian.net, which it's a 
known support resource (has ~500k posts of content) and/or ask.debian.net.

The idea of pointing to the wiki is to be able to have a place for 
pointers to upstream/3rd party/debian specific documentation.
Also a good place for FAQs and even even information on packaging.


Just my thoughts on frontpage/wiki.
