Bits (Nybbles?) from the Vancouver release team meeting

[Robert Millan]

Hey.

For those of you not following d-d-a, the requirements for being in the official
debian archive are now public.  From:

   http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/03/msg00012.html

I think we meet all of these except the last one.  Any comments?
