I like darcs, too. Some clear instructions on where to send patches
(possibly with darcs directly) would also be nice. I don't know if an
actual bug tracker is needed, but some way to know about things that
need work or where changes would be welcome would probably be nice.

Naturally I'd also like strong (Debian) packages to be buildable from
the snapshots so you can do install and version/dep tracking dances
that way. There's no system I'd subject to make install. (Though at
the moment there's very little of any system in my disposal.)
