And as I told Josselin when he started this -- so what. Let the old school group complain all they want. I have always enjoyed that Debian's developers are also its users and largely we are user driven. If I want to package something I will, even if it is small and simple. We have a beautiful packaging system which supports tasks and meta packages and we should use it.
