Application Suggestion.Possible Breezy Intergration?

[Vincenzo Di Massa]

Did you ever try yada http://yada.alioth.debian.org/ ?

It is really fast to setup a package using yada.
And if you install using yada, then you can unistall the package with 
apt-get / synaptic .

I really like it!

Ciao 
Vincenzo
