I strongly disagree with the automated part. You don't want anybody to
do a 'make package' and put the package up for ftp; this is the most
sure way of having tons of broken packages floating around.

You want to have knowledgeable people like Ove and Marcus, who
understand what they are doing, generate the packages for the rest of
us. So yes, we should have more documentation on how to do that, and
this will probably include parts of sample spec files to illustrate
the documentation. But it should not be possible to blindly generate a
package without understanding what's going on.
