[$] Debian discusses principles for package maintenance

Achieving consensus among Debian Developers on technical topics andprocedures can be, to put it mildly, challenging. Nevertheless, thatis exactly what Otto Kekalainen has tried to do with a proposal thatwould set up "principles all Debian packages should follow to beopen for collaboration in package maintenance". In the near term,it seems unlikely that the proposal will be accepted, but thediscussion may be effective at improving collaboration nonetheless.
