sponsor for QEmacs maybe
QEmacs is a tiny full-screen editor with UTF-8 support, a hex mode and the ability to edit huge files efficiently: http://www-stud.enst.fr/~bellard/qemacs/ It's not very mature yet, but it seems good enough to be useful. There didn't seem to be a Debian package, and I felt it was about time I learnt something about how to make Debian packages, so I made one: http://rano.org/qemacs/ Does anyone want to review this and either take it over as maintainer for the benefit of Debian or tell me what I've done wrong for my benefit?

removing package/provide upgrade path
I have a package that has been merged with another. I would like to remove the package from the archive but I'm concerned with users that already have the package installed. How to make sure that they know to install another package? Upload a new version that Depends on the replacement package, noting that it can then be deleted seems to be the best way, but what is recommended?
