I have trouble figuring how to submit packages for inclusion in Ubuntu,
even in the Universe Area. I followed the web sites, and the best way I
figured was to make a rather "officiallous" Package Selection Proposal
in the governance meetings, via the Wiki. But: 1) I don't think listing
packages name in a Wiki page is a proper way to make suggestion and 2) I
did'nt have the right to edit the pages (sorry, I didn't make my
homework to figure how to gather those rights... later, I guest).
So, how do we suggest such inclusions? I had to temporarily add a Sid
source to add FirewallBuilder (fwbuilder), since it's the tool we use
here to manage our firewalls, but I still feel it to be "unclean" on my
system.. :\
