+questions:
+- how will the import be done?
+- is it up for the maintainer to request it? or only for non-base system
+  packages?
+- or does the maintainer has a magic command to do?
+- will submitting a package for rebuild bork the list of maintainer (mdv
+  uses the "maintainer = 1st to submit" scheme)
+- do we have an estimated planning with the different steps?
