[Debian-med-packaging] [MoM] Another Debian Med MoM for February!

[Emmanuel Promayon]

Hello,

I would like to candidate as well for Debian Med MoM in February (if 
Andreas is still up to it!)

I already did some initial work on the CamiTK package [0] with the help 
of Andreas and Mathieu and would like to improve the package that is 
already in the svn [1].

My initial plan under the MoM is the following:
- (re)read debian policy, debian-med policy and related documents from 
the beginning (I went through very quickly in July last year and have to 
say I forgot a lot). I would like to make sure I am not asking questions 
where RTFM would be the best answer!
- update upstream source tarball
- generate another lib package from the source tarball 
(libqtpropertybrowser), this is a tool used in CamiTK but can be used 
for other projects as well
- generate another source tarball (separate from camitk tarball) for the 
camitk tetgen plugin package + the associated debian package (optional 
and that uses the tetgen package already in debian)
- other things that I will learn under MoM to improve the package!

Also, I saw that ubuntu 13.04 already includes the libcamitk packages, 
although they are still in unstable. I don't think it is a good idea 
(the package still has a severe bug due to tetgen source code 
inclusion). I also saw that what they call "debian freeze" is planned 
for 14 Feb.
If I understood well after this date they won't take any new update, and 
I would prefer to solve the tetgen problem before that.
So my objective is to concentrate my work on the package/MoM as much as 
possible before that date.

Looking forward to start this MoM and welcome any contributions about 
it! Sorry in advance for my simplistic or wrong views about packaging...
