Hi Edward, Can I add: the larger task is not the initial packaging (though that itself is a very large task); it's the ongoing maintenance of these 666 packages. Who is going to do that work (including ensuring that any resulting updates don't break anything higher up the dependency chain)? Until that question has an answer, I would strongly recommend following Salvo's suggestions. Then if someone really wants feature XYZ, that would be a good time to package the relevant module. It might be that HomeAssistant is too big a task for Debian to take on unless there's a small group of interested maintainers able to do it; perhaps there could be a HomeAssistant Team?
