Hi Paul and thanks for the reply. Paul Wise wrote:
All these are topics for the debian-blends list.
Well, I did post to debian-blends and they told me to RTFM, which I thought was pretty funny. But, going back to my original post, I am just following the Debian Developers' Reference manual which states: The mailing list <debian-mentors@lists.debian.org> has been set up for novice maintainers who seek help with initial packaging and other developer-related issues. Every new developer is invited to subscribe to that list (see Section 4.1, “Mailing lists” for details). Those who prefer one-on-one help (e.g., via private email) should also post to that list and an experienced developer will volunteer to help. So, basically, I am looking for "an experienced developer" who will "volunteer to help" "via private email" as I was lead to expect would happen from the Debian documentation.
