I can see one...even if I follow this discussion quite loosely:

How is the effort going
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/09/msg01362.html)?
I am very interested in this project and have a little bit of time to
help out if needed.
Let me know what I can do.

Hi

Hi all,
while packaging (k)powersave for Debian, which need relatively
up-to-date hal (>= 0.5.4) and dbus (>= 0.33) packages, I encountered the
problem that hal/dbus in Sid are currently pretty outdated whereas the
hal/dbus packages in experimental would be sufficient.
This left me two options:
1.

Developer's reference, so that maintainers just need to add:
