How about accepting mediocrity to start with and striving for excellence while learning, over time. You don't really need to know much to package a small game correctly. Wouldn't it be silly to burn highly skilled peoples time on easy tasks, or throw away a useful contribution regardless of where it comes? I have seen excellent packaging from not so "skilled" developers, and bad packaging from skilled developers. I have seen a general improvement of Debian as a whole. To be honest, I am not even sure what all the fuss is about. We are doing nice integrating the work of mediocrity without loosing the over-all quality. Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
