This list is for new maintainers who seek help with initial packaging
If you have some spare time and want to contribute it to Debian you
may wish to take a look at the "Work-Needing and Prospective Packages
for Debian GNU/Linux" also known as WNPP that can be found at

If you plan to make a Debian package from a not yet packaged piece of
software you *must* announce your intention on the debian-devel mailing
list to make sure nobody else is working on them.
-The machine master.debian.org is our main archive server. Every
-uploaded package finds it's way there (except for Packages covered by
-US crypto laws which go to non-us.debian.org) eventually. That
-machine is also the home of our web pages and our bug tracking system.
-The second machine va.debian.org is supposed to take over some of the
-work master does.
-
-Both machines were sponsored by companies (Novare Inc. for master and
-VA Linux Systems for va). Please don't over-stress them and use your
-accounts carefully.

You should use ssh to log into the machines instead of regular telnet
-or rlogin. We have installed ~/.ssh directories and authorized_keys
-files with appropriate permissions on both machines. If you want to
-ssh to them without typing the password, run ssh-keygen on your
-machine and add the contents of ~/.ssh/identity.pub into the
-authorized_keys files in ~/.ssh on master and va. But please be aware
-of the security implications of doing this.

+please see <URL:http://db.debian.org/doc-mail.html> Otherwise when you
+first login a ~/.ssh directory will be created with the appropriate
+permissions. Please be aware of the security implications of using RSA
+authentication and ssh agents.

+Login using the password information appended to this email, and
+update your personal information. The information is used to maintain
+your accounts on various Debian machines, and also to allow other
+developers and general users to find out more about you. Many of
+the fields are only visible to other registered Debian developers. This
+is also the only way to change your password. The passwd program does not
+yet work.
