<pre>Yup all good points. Not to put it all on the PM - but I think a way to
track this in BZ is needed. A better workflow - perhaps based on Chris's
point - a "failed QA - needs package" status (or some worded status)?
Do we have a defined role description of responsibility of the Packaging
Manager? (I've only read Robin's posts to the mailing list before - is
that it?)

<pre>Indeed. I am willing to build *some* packages (and submit them to Debian),
but that willingness is decidedly not infinite.
The first question that somebody who proposes to add a new dependency
should ask themselves is this: is there a way to accomplish the task at
hand without adding a new dependency? If not, can the task at hand be
accomplished using packages that are already in Debian stable? If not,
does the dependency at least have an active third-party ITP (intent to
package) in the Debian bug tracker?
Regards,
Galen
