Hi again,

I just intended to add

Control: block 1123928 by `wnpp-check haskell-djot`
...

but I realised you did not filed ITP bugs.

for all these packages.  I know people consider ITP's a waste of time
and I do not intend to change your workflow.  However, you are wasting a
chance to see your packages ranking on top of the DFSG dashboard.

I know people like to teach me ITPs should be filed *before* starting
with packaging.  This makes sense to avoid race conditions.  I'm pretty
sure inside the Haskell team you have means to avoid race conditions and
thus you decide not to file ITPs.  All fine so far.

But what about simply *generating* an ITP once you are ready with your
packaging work based upon the metadate inside your packaging?  We started
with this in the R team and you can find:

   
https://salsa.debian.org/r-pkg-team/dh-r/-/blob/master/scripts/itp_from_debian_dir?ref_type=heads

You simply call itp_from_debian_dir and wait until your ITP bug number
is fixed, close it in d/changelog and upload then.  This is a nearly
zero effort and enables you to use the block-by-feature easily.

Hope this helps
   Andreas.
