I absolutely agree with you, mainly with some complex things as the
AOO's deb packages. I was trying to understand how it was done with
LibreOffice deb packages[1] but I was worried whether I could take
advantage of what was already done because of the license. IMHO it
isn't a working for a only person, mainly thinking about the packaging
quality to be accept as an official Debian package in the future. I
believe would be good to maintain it by a team.
*PS: BTW does anybody know how the AOO's Debian packages are built?
By chance are they converted from RPM to DEB via alien? Who is the
responsible for the deb packages building process?
*PS2: I'm sorry for my not so good English.
