Just to make it clear
- I am not expecting someone else to go out and pursue this, I am quite
happy to discuss with people informally
- however, as I haven't had a lot of experience with previous DebConfs,
I share the idea through the list to make sure there is (a) some support
for the concept, (b) nobody else doing the same thing and (c) it is not
completely prohibited

Exactly - the same could happen in reverse, has DebConf (or a
mini-DebConf) ever piggy-backed on another event?  As long as the
DebConf identity remains clear, there are probably many variations on
the concept.
