Point of clarification: we don't expect software that is written just for Debian (snapshot.debian.org and udd.debian.org come to mind) to be packaged. We would prefer other software (gitlab, pagure, etc.) to be packaged, if possible; surely this software is useful to our community and having it packaged is worthwhile. -- Luca Filipozzi http://www.crowdrise.com/SupportDebian
