I think Daniel's quality standards are not exceptionally high, or low, compared to other sponsors. That is, if you don't consider a newline in a textfile a quality measure of course.
But the other comments he makes, regarding: proper attribution of copyright (even in sponsored packages that already have a version in Debian proper---people not used to academia are not familiar with the importance of this), his comments about keeping debian/rules minimal (changing the rules, not eliminating commented entries) etc are quite useful, his advices to make the changes minimal in a diff.gz package. All this is "common sense", but many people don't seem to apply "common sense" to the programs that they write.
