Yes, I think (how I understood the assignement), this assigment is not really
suitable as a student assignment.
Said that, I recommend waiting until I find the time to summarize the mai I've
got (or permission to publish it), because I have ideas how the assignment
could be tweaked so that it is acutually helpful for the students and Debian.
I've also asked for the professors contact, so that we can have a chat with
them too.
(Sorry, I'm quite occupied until tomorrow evening, so I cant summarize it right
now.)
