[Python-apps-team] Status of pondus packaging

[Eike Nicklas]

Hi Andreas,

thanks a lot for your QA efforts and proposals. I agree with your
comments about the uploader/maintainer fields and will add that change
along with your diff as soon as time permits (probably on the weekend).
I will also look into setting the ACLs Debian Med (anyone of the
Python Apps team with experience on setting the ACL is welcome to
comment or help ;-) ).

All the best,

Eike
