yes, if they are specific to packaging I think I can help here :)
Just give us *something* more pratical than an "i need to put a control file"
give us a source package name, a downloadable tarball, some preliminary work
(do you know debmake or dch?)


you might want to start from there maybe

this is simply untrue, I can't help in infrastructure issues (I know
almost anything that is behind Debian Blend), but for packaging issues
me and many other people will help you in many ways.

BTW, I try to avoid private emails if possible, because your issues (and 

our answers) might help many other people in the future with the same packaging
troubles.

Cheers!

Gianfranco
