I think so.  I also see good chances that debian-multimedia at l.d.o is not
widely known.  My plan would be to advertise in Squeeze release notes a
Debian Multimedia Blend, and give pointers to the apropriate lists with
a clear topic of the lists.  This would require that we define these
topics and the tasks will be polished to reflect a well structured set
of the multimedia applications.

If this is the case I would also think that this should be sorted out
before the Squeeze release notes are finalised.  If you ask me this
infrastructural work currently is more important than just packaging
some latest upstream versions for Sid.

Kind regards

      Andreas.

PS: I just wonder whether we should move this discussion to
    debian-multimedias at l.d.o
