I think it would be foolish to try to force something like this on Debian developers by decree. We might as well try to require the use of a particular text editor or revision control system. I think this kind of change is better made one developer at a time. > >If there is some concrete way that you feel that we can help encourage > >team-oriented maintenance of packages, I'd like to hear it. > What about taking part in discussions of the relevant development lists. > I just noticed that there is a zope-debhelper in Ubuntu.

However, very soon after it was released, an ITP was filed to add it to Debian: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/03/msg00482.html so clearly some people were aware of its existence. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
