[Pkg-giraffe-discuss] How to proceed for d-push/z-push packaging?

[Carsten Schoenert]

Just for information, the d-push package was gonna removed today from
the unstable archive.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=846064

By this if someone wants to start maintaining z-push there is the great
possibility to start with a new source package name.
