   Hi again,   
      
   I just intended to add   
      
   Control: block 1123928 by `wnpp-check haskell-djot`   
   ...   
      
   but I realised you did not filed ITP bugs.

   for all these packages.  I know people consider ITP's a waste of time   
   and I do not intend to change your workflow.  However, you are wasting a   
   chance to see your packages ranking on top of the DFSG dashboard.   
      
   I know people like to teach me ITPs should be filed *before* starting   
   with packaging.  This makes sense to avoid race conditions.  I'm pretty   
   sure inside the Haskell team you have means to avoid race conditions and   
   thus you decide not to file ITPs.  All fine so far.   
      
   But what about simply *generating* an ITP once you are ready with your   
   packaging work based upon the metadate inside your packaging?  We started   
   with this in the R team and you can find:   
      
      https://salsa.debian.org/r-pkg-team/dh-r/-/blob/master/script   
   /itp_from_debian_dir?ref_type=heads   
      
   You simply call itp_from_debian_dir and wait until your ITP bug number   
   is fixed, close it in d/changelog and upload then.  This is a nearly   
   zero effort and enables you to use the block-by-feature easily.   
      
   Hope this helps   
      Andreas.
