Well, corrections .. additions maybe. A lot of these items are listed in a 
really short format and desperately need links to relevant pages. For example 
"Provide .spec file". My immediate response is: Um, yeah, right. I'm trying 
to program for KDE, not dick around with some distro's file format. (And I 
think that as a RH user who has actually written a .spec for his app). And I 
was vaguely aware that the LSM existed, but have never given it any serious 
thought. At which point - again - my reaction is "I don't want to have to 
sort this out for myself." 

I know it's easy to ask a question on IRC or on this mailing list, but I 
think that this page you've written should anticipate some of those questions 
and answer them pre-emptively. So basically this needs links to a lot of 
places and some simple instructions on how to do the rest, ie. "the debian 
directory should contain files x y and z", etc. etc. "ChangeLog format is ..."
