I guess the problem is that there isn't really software that is only
useful to KDE-Debian. I mean, people will try to get most Debian
packages they make, and I suppose that is a good thing too.
Packages with only local relevance will only be uploaded to a simple
quick fix Debian repository, like the one I have in
http://www.debian.org/~domi/debian-kde-debug/. I don't think it would
belong in your main kde-debian repo either.
Anyway, I just mean to ask this question: what kind of software would
you suggest using your repo for ?
cheers
