Following up to the list, as it is of general interest.

By scheduling binNMUs in a semi-automatic fashion: We would a script that lists all packages that need to be re-build, and we pass that information to the guys on debian-release. > I think the main thing that > would change in this idea is the haskell-utils package, which I was > working on to maintain.

What do you think? Yes, a packaging team would be useful, but it needs someone to take the lead (e.g. setting up the alioth group, choosing and setting up a VCS etc.) If we do such a big change, we should also use it to consolidate some of the packaging utilities around. For example, haskell-utils could use the dh scripts from haskell-devscripts where appropriate and drop some code, or maybe one of the two could be abandoned for the other completely. I still haven’t seen Arjan comment on the idea with the interface hashes: Would you support such a change in the Haskell Packaging Policy?
