The information isn't really a Guideline (with MUST items at the moment) and ideas for how packagers should deal with upstreams that don't follow the suggestions but it is a good start. Maybe the best idea would be to get this in the wiki and expand it under PackagingDrafts/DBus. Then migrate it into a document similar to what each programming language has. Having a list of reviewables will make it better fodder for the Packaging Guidelines themselves. -Toshio
