[Typo3-debian] Integration of Typo3-Packages into the Debian main archive

Hi Steffen,

just a few words...

I agree that this was a problem in the past, but things might have changed 
since we have consequently started to use CVS and because there are official 
release maintainers (which is currently Ingmar and me) who are officially 
maintaining the latest stable release and therefore we already filter the 
important bugs out.

So assuming that you're releasing packages of TYPO3 3.6.2, a Debian package 
maintainer would only have to backport those patches from the 3-7-branch back 
to 3.6...

Anyway, I'm looking forward for this topic, this will hopefully bring some 
great efforts to TYPO3 on Debian...
