Mhmmm, yeah, looks easy enough. I'll give it a whirl.

Can you create git repos for those new packages on Alioth?

I've also had a look into the branch structure of the existing packages
and found upstream/<version> and debian/<version> branches which looks
like the way to go for committing my updated apt, ntp, stdlib and concat
packages. Are you going to do that yourself or should I look into
creating new branches and pushing them?

Is there some writeup on the whole construct or can you give me a quick
indoctrination on where to branch out from, how to keep the diff small,
what to put into the changelog (my name, your name, whatever) and stuff
like that? I can troll the list archives as well, if you tell me, all I
need is in there somewhere. ;)

Thanks,
