Hi Sugar developers!
Whoops - my initial email was intended for the Debian-specific
mailinglist, but accidentally ended at its.an.edu. Sorry about the
noise.
I notice that Morgan cross-posted his response to the sugar list as well
- - this email is cross-posted too, please tell me if one or more lists
should be left out from further discussion.

I knew about the sugarlabs.org wiki, but was unaware that such bundling
was already decided officially now.

That page looks like just a proposal to me. If official, I recommend
rephrasing the initial section of that page (and/or point me to some
other more official page).

Great! Please subscribe to the Debian-specific mailinglist at
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-olpc-devel and
let's discuss the details there :-)

Specifics about Sugar packaging is (mostly missing currently, but
intended to end up) at http://wiki.debian.org/Sugar

Something like this: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_on_Debian ?

...and the (quite recent!) links you provided is valuable for us
distributors to understand what you mean by "appropriate". :-)
Thanks.
