I was at the Hacking Thursday of the Shanghai Linux User Group, and
I was trying to show Billy Zhe-Wei, a Taiwanese living in Shanghai,
how he could package his application in Debian, and why he needed to
fill an ITP.
Unfortunately, his laptop couldn't connect to the WiFi there (for a
weird reason that we didn't find out). So I used the --email= of
reportbug on my laptop, but as I have set DEBFULLNAME in my environment,
and I dind't use --realname=, so my name went in, instead of his. That's
just a mistake I did, which I didn't see, because in the editor, you
have the Owner: field that is correct (see the deceptive text below).
Are you the upstream author?
Billy Zhe-Wei Lin 林哲瑋 billy3...@gmail.com is the upstream author.

Description : A stupid scripts management tool and non official
package installer
Lazyscripts is just a stupid script distrubtion tool and quick-installer
distribution
in Linux, which aims to provide a easy way to setup your working
environment for people who need to install a new distrubution such as
distribution
Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE or who want to have much better experiences in
Linux.
Apart from the spelling errors, reading this description I still have no firm
idea of what this package does.
This is exactly what I told Zhe-Wei tonight when reading his short
description. When I first saw his python GUI, I thought it was a
replacement for the Ubuntu software center in a way faster. It seems I
was wrong, but I discovered it after sending the ITP with him.
What his package does is things like downloading unofficial packages at
once with wget, and some dpkg -i of the .deb. He showed me some examples
with some fonts packages. Now that I understand this, I think it's a bit
silly, as packages should go in Debian directly, and we have
dependencies if we wish to pull more than one package at a time. It
could still be cool for non-free stuff though. And I think that his tool
can do a lot more (it does a lot of scripting).
Note that this is just a kind mentoring process, as Zhe-Wei is really
willing to learn. So please do not care too much about this. :)
