There are in fact a bunch of things that might be issues with a package if you have the time to work on them: - Whether to configure Freenet through debconf. - Whether to install a separate browser for it, or perhaps some sort of script. - Maybe package Thingamablog and jSite and maybe Thaw, Frost and FMS separately. (The last 3 have not been properly reviewed so might be unofficial). - Maybe package Freenet's dependancies (currently in contrib/ e.g. db4o) separately. (This would make upstream people happy). ...
