</div>Package quality is an issue indeed, but I'd prefer an "open repository" (does<br>
that term already exist?) over packages spread all over the web even if<br>
quality suffers from that. One could improve packages later on and then<br>
include them into pkg-fso/debian.<br>
If people get to know their future favourite software by finding it on $repo<br>
and then go and improve the package so that it can be included in debian,<br>
that would be the way I'd go... (Which implies people knowing that $repo<br>
isn't the final place to go.)<br>
