RE: [seul-edu] ISO Phase 3: Debian Packages

["Darryl Palmer" <Darryl_Palmer_Jr@acm.org>]

By fully compatible with DebianEdu, are we also stating that we want our
Debian packages to be fully compatible with the Debian Policy manual?
Which includes writing man pages for all binary executables and wrapping
all java programs with execution scripts?

I'm not familiar enough with the Debian differences to have an informed
opinion.  The best bet it to contact Raphael Hertzog
(hertzog@debian.org) and ask his opinion.  He's the head of DebianEdu
<http://wiki.debian.net/DebianEdu>; we want to be fully compatible with
whatever they're doing.  Also, Raphael would like some help with
DebianEdu itself, so if anyone's interested in helping there please do
so!
