I'm one of those who wrote you about debian packaging, I think. :)

In July, I wrote to Michael (it seemed to me that he was packaging for 
Debian), but now I think we have to coordinate ourselves (Michael, 
obviously please correct me if I'm wrong).
My position is quite simple: I'm first an happy Debian user, *after* I'm 
also an happy Typo3 user.

So, my primary concerns (and the help I could give to us all) are, for 
example:
- assuring that the typo3 package will enter in sid with less bugs as 
possible (correcting also some existents bugs)
- absolutely no more RC bugs, we've already freezed base, and we're 
already late (a bit, not too much) with release plan for Etch
- with only well-thought dependencies (I'm thinking about Depends, 
because with Recommends we can be more relaxed :) )
- consistent with Debian Policy, Web Application Proposal Policy, and 
other applicable policies (as LSB, or at least FHS)
- we have to interact with the mantainer, Christian Leutloff (I think 
you've altrady done it..he didn't reply, true?): this is very important 
in debian community, you know :)
- mantain a bidirectional channel with upstream in next years

This list could continue ;)

I told to Michael, and so I wrote it also here, that I begin to study 
policies and Debian developers best practices in (I think) April...or 
March, I don't remember.

This is because I want to:
- first, adopt a package
- then, become mantainer
- then, DD (Debian Developer) (but this needs MORE time, obviously...)

All this things to say: I'd like to start my serious experience in 
Debian taking the maintenance of Typo3 package, as I said to Michael.

Christian, because I'm a bit late, you came first. So, if you prefer to 
officially mantain this package yourself, or other people prefers any 
other solution, there's no problem for me: I'd go for another package, 
trying to help this package enter in Debian community :)
But obviously I'd like very much to take care of my most appreciated 
free software together, Debian and Typo3.

Let me know what I can do :)

Thank you and have a good day!

Cheers from Italy,

Matteo
