I agree.

It seems to good an opportunity to pass up though.

I'm happy to make the proposal to debconf once we decide what we
would like it to be.

I'm happy to try and have it as a longer session, but I wasn't planning
on attending DebCamp as well.

So, a first proposal to get us going: a half-day BoF on vcs-pkg, 
attempting first to define the problems the project should solve, and
then sketching out a roadmap to tackle them.

Thanks,
