 * [[MOTU/Packages/CommonPackagingMistakes/ChangingTheOrigTarball]]
  * Proposal: make it sound less 'policy'-like
   * If the policy element is removed, it should be made clear that there is a policy (perhaps as a separate document?) [[EmmetHikory]]
 * [[MOTU/Packages/CommonPackagingMistakes/DebianCopyright]]
  * Proposal: should go into [[PackagingGuide/Basic]]
   * Policy aspects are perhaps better kept out of [[PackagingGuide/Basic]]. As with [[MOTU/Packages/CommonPackagingMistakes/ChangingTheOrigTarball]], perhaps these should be separated (in the case of copyright, perhaps merged with [[NewPackageRequirements]] - [[EmmetHikory]]
 * [[NewPackageRequirements]]

 * [[MOTU/Packages/DesktopFiles]]
  * contains tools (why source code on the wiki?), explanations, working list
   * [[EmmetHikory]]
    * This is a merge of ~5 previous pages from last cycle
    * no clear home for such small scripts
    * working list is essentially a collaborative blacklist
  * Fix: Make sure people understand that .desktop files need to go upstream, else we don't get translations for them
   * This is stated in second paragraph. Alternate text welcome [[EmmetHikory]]
  * Fix: needs pruning
  * No idea, where to put in the PackagingGuide
   * [[EmmetHikory]]
    * Discussion might be good external to PackagingGuide
    * Instructions could be merged with info on .menu files, .man pages, etc. as part of a new page (needs volunteer)
    * Code could be stuck in a package (or hidden in a wiki attachment & linked)
    * Blacklist probably belongs as part of MOTU coordination pages, external to PackagingGuide
 * [[MOTU/Recipes]]
  * just a ToC
  * Proposal: can go away
 * [[MOTU/Recipes/CheckingLibrarySymbols]],
  * checking library symbols on updates
  * Proposal: add to the end of [[PackagingGuide/Updating]]
 * [[MOTU/Recipes/Debdiff]]
  * how to debdiff
  * norsetto: unless it is somewhere else, I would add interdiff and filterdiff too?
   * If you want to add that, no complaints here - EXCELLENT -- DanielHolbach2 <<DateTime(2007-10-10T14:01:41Z)>>
  * Proposal: merge into [[PackagingGuide/GettingStarted]]
   * Recommended practices here should match those on [[MOTU/Contributing]]. Both may need updates - [[EmmetHikory]]

  * how to use `debian/watch`
  * Proposal: move to [[PackagingGuide/Basic]]
 * [[MOTU/Recipes/PackageUpdate]]
  * how to do a package update
  * Proposal: merge into [[PackagingGuide/GettingStarted]]
 * [[MOTU/Recipes/UseBzrAndBzrBuildpackage]]
  * explanation on how to organise packaging with `bzr`
  * Proposal: new chapter?
 * [[MOTU/Packages/Packaging/Kubuntu]]
  * doc links, default values for default kde packages, patch systems, writing manpages, finding build-depends, building, versioning, .pot files stuff
  * norsetto: .desktop files and shared mime type differences too?
   * ACK (also a paragraph why .desktop changes belong into upstream (translations, etc.)) -- DanielHolbach2 <<DateTime(2007-10-10T14:01:41Z)>>
  * Proposal: lots of pruning, keep Kubuntu related material, maybe manpage stuff too
  * norsetto: why not adding a Gnome specific section too? Stuff like dh_gconf, shared mime etc.
   * ACK -- DanielHolbach2 <<DateTime(2007-10-10T14:01:41Z)>>
 * [[MOTU/School/PackagingMistakes]]
  * Proposal: merge into [[PackagingGuide/Basic]]
 * [[MOTU/School/2005-12-10]]
  * packaging without debhelper and CDBS
  * Proposal: add as a new chapter
 * [[MOTU/School/PackagingBasics]]
  * School sessions, lots of questions answered
  * Proposal: merge into [[PackagingGuide/Basic]]
 * [[MOTU/School/Merging-and-Syncing]]
  * merging and syncing
  * Proposal: add as a new chapter
 * [[MOTU/Packages/Merging]]
  * explanations, alternative approach, another approach, links, FIXME, merge tips
