Technically this is not a problem at all. For discussing/changing the policy I'd recommend you to raise this with the Technical Board. </officialy speaking> My own opinion: I tend to agree. It would steamline the job of requesters and archive admins, and completely new packages are mostly harmless. Since universe already has a magnitude more packages that MOTUs can handle, it doesn't make the maintainability situation significantly worse, eases source package renaming/lost build deps, etc. Martin -- Martin Pitt http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntu.com Debian Developer http://www.debian.org
