First of all, it's good to hear that you are working on dpkg again! Your
proposal of what to do next looks perfect to me.
And if you're coordinating dpkg development/maintenance again (which would
be great!), my proposal of changing dpkg' maintainer situation is
obsolete.
Thanks,
Chris
PS: I just merged the "debian-changelog mode missing" bugs, and reassigned
a bunch of bugs to the new packaging-manual package.
