Hi, devscripts ships a bunch of scripts to make the life of a Debian Package maintainer easier. Not every script in there is Debian packaging specific. Some of them are used on other non-Debian-based distributions. I was contacted [1] and asked if we could split the Debian packaging specific scripts from the rest.
I like to keep only Debian packaging specific scripts in devscripts (see the list below). Where should we put the non Debian packaging specific scripts? Should we create a neutral project or are there other projects in which these scripts fit?
