At the first glance I spot only binary .debs. These are mostly
worthless to us, you must provide source packages, as we only do
sourceful uploads.

Moreover, better write in your next email which meta packages you
propose and why do you think there are useful.

espc. I don't understand the benefit of ubuntu-devel over build-essential.
