- Andreas's conditions for sponsorship are listed on that website.
+ <ulink url="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianPureBlends/SoB">Sponsoring of Blends</ulink>

+ entry for your package to the SoB wiki page to request sponsorship via
+ the SoB initiative, assuming the conditions documented on the SoB wiki
+ page are met.
