Is it possible that the respective maintainers increase their
cooperation?
So that DMO packages differs from Debian mostly by beeing "unofficial"
but having more stuff enabled during configuration?


What about the efforts to convince the ftpmasters to allow
patented/legally critical stuff?
IIRC, Reinhard Tartler once claimed they'd be more open for this now,...
but it seems his uploads keep hanging in new forever.

I mean DMO would probably happily dropping packages if they get part of
Debian (with full options)


Cheers,
Chris.
