Hi,
it took this to pd-dev, because I think, pd-announce should better be reserved for announcements only - or what do you guys think?

As usual: Please _don't_ report packaging-related Bugs to the Debian BTS, this is packaged unofficially just for your convinience and not supported by Debian, although it uses the debian-configuration by Guenther Geiger.
ahh, then I could use it directly to upload to Debian proper ? :) Did you do lintian checks etc or fixed pending bugs, I would be happy to give away packaging of some of my packages ....
Of course I would be really proud to maintain PD on Debian/Agnula, and that's meant honest.
For my package I didn't run any lintian checks, neither did I look at the pending bugs. I just copied over the debian-directory from pd-0.32 and made some minor arrangements, for example use dh_link to link /usr/lib/pd/doc/html to /usr/share/doc/pd/html and such. Also I did not follow debian-dev for about a year, so maybe there are some policy violations that I'm not aware of. And I didn't build correct source packages, *.dsc and *.changes yet, so for a NM-upload I would need to do some more work.
But if you want to give away PD packaging and maybe lead me a bit through the new-maintainer queue, I would be willing to maintain PD or just do some Non-Maintainer-Uploads of better checked PD packages than the current one.
ciao,

There are several ways to solve it, the easiest way for me would be just to reuse your packages and upload them under my name, this should be pretty painless if the packages are in good state.
The new maintainer stuff is a bit painful, so if you want to do it, you have to read through the documentation how to apply. I will of course help you in every way that it is possible as debian developer. (Beiing sponsor, or whatever they call it). But you have to guide yourself throught the process. I think that is one reason they make it that hard, they want to make sure that you really want to be a Debian developer.
