Right, thanks for pointing that out.

Again, thanks for pointing vlosuts out :)

Though for the beginning I would like to start with piuparts, just to have a 
narrower target. I've added vlosuts to http://wiki.debian.org/piuparts - so 
that we dont forget it.

(That wikipage also needs some cleanup and adding of new stuff.)

Definitly.

Other them mentioning them in mails to d-d-a when we announce those new 
services and mentioning them on the website, I have no idea how to fulfill 
that request. Personally I like piatti.debian.org better, cause its shorter 
(Yay lazyness...) - and while I think I could overcome my lazyness, I'm not 
sure if that would help to promote the new uses (like vlosuts) of the 
machine...

Sure. In a xen instance you can install any software you want..
