Good afternoon (UTC+0200),

Thanks for all your answers, I'm sorry not having answered earlier, but I
was having an Internet free weekend.

Thanks for all your suggestions, I'll think about different sources
packages, except maybe for mailman-core plus client?

Stephen, I was considering that 3.1 would be a better one to release in
debian, but maybe starting before would be good to see how things would go.
As I said, I did not for now packaged any big project, and I'm not a Debian
Dev, so I might be slower than a well trained uploading DD.

If you think I'm wrong, I'm eager to wait, if not, maybe I should start
slowly and try understand all dependencies and create a good bunch of
sources packages so that we'll be able to go faster when 3.1 is out.

Thanks, and cheers,
