Perhaps something could be done indeed. In the mbrola case I use a script which very automatically generates packages, one just has to provide the voice name, version, language, and locale. One then just has to send the generated ITP, copy over the ITP bug number, build, and upload. I have put the latest version on http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/mbrola-voice-package-generate There are quite a few things which are specific to mbrola (finding the voice file, a test file, package description & licence), but perhaps it can be made more generic? One thing I didn't automate is upgrading, because it doesn't happen often, and is subtle :) Samuel
