Just asking, have you gotten one of the Debian CTTE guys to file a top level proposal (just like the systemd proposal https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=727708).

I think you are one of the few people that truly understand the ecosystem and probably are the right person to influence this.

Incidentally, I had a pretty interesting bthread today on the question bwhether we will see a single package manager format on Linux. Wonder what your thoughts are...and in general the state of package management on Linux. Would you build Cydia on something else today?

The technical committee isn't necessary unless you've already asked and been told "no".

The ftpmasters and the apt maintainers would be the appropriate pair of contacts.

CTTE is when you have a dispute over a technical decision. From my reading above comments, there is no conflict but just lack of interest.
