 have you seen [1]? Assuming your email address I guess so.

Yes.  Til cornered me in Dublin and persuaded me to do the packaging for
colord. :)

 What is the state of this effort?

colord is essentially ready to go; I'm just checking the polish at this
point.  After that a number of printingish packages need to be rebuilt
with colord support, and the new version of gnome-color-manager can get
built.

 Has an (alioth) team be formed to 
 maintain colord and related packages?
 

There aren't really many related packages, or at least not related
packages that don't already have a better home - the closest one would
be gnome-color-manager, which is already in pkg-gnome.

I was planning to maintain it with Till Kamppeter and Martin Pitt in the
printing team.  I could be persuaded to make a dedicated team if that's
what's wanted.

You might want to mention freedesktop.org in the description. And
possibly dbus too?

I'm somewhat hesitant to include implementation details in package
descriptions.  That said, this isn't really a user-visible package so
some extra technical detail is probably appropriate.

I generally agree.

Yes, as a system administrator I want to know what sort of a service I
am installing to the system when I install this package. Since it is a
dbus service I can't disable it with policy-rc.d or update-rc.d. Is it
possible to have the service installed but not enabled somehow?

Like any autostarted dbus service you could add a servicedir
to /etc/dbus/system.conf and stick an empty
org.freedesktop.ColorManager.service file in that directory to prevent
the service from getting loaded.
