I mostly file ITPs because Lintian moans at me if I don't. I agree that ITPs just before uploading, mostly to keep lintian quiet, are largely makework. I do check them for other people working on stuff. I do file them for things that I expect to take a long time. Essentially I find ITPs useful for non-trivial packages, but not not very useful for trivial ones. Wookey -- Principal hats: Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/
