    Split every package is not possible cause of
number of people necesary and the main idea behind the
project.

    But use only packages as they are in Debian stable
sometimes is not viable. If we need openldap2.2, some
patches for nfsv4 or a better gnome desktop in 1 year,
we should decide how to do it.

    Feedback to debian and a consensus between us
(userlinux) and the debian maintainer is really
necesary, but at this moment none of as can speak as a
userlinux "maintainer".

    Since this is not going to be ready before our
first release, we should keep working with this issues
and fork only on this packages that are really
necesary. And then, those who became mantainer of the
different parts, talk with the different debian
maintainters and try to normalize our patches.
