Very cool. I planned on including a Common Packaging Mistakes section in 
the Ubuntu Packaging Guide. This should really help. I added it to 
wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuPackagingGuide/Resources, which is my list of 
useful packaging wiki pages and web pages.

BTW, it would be nice to have MOTUs check over the outline of the Ubuntu
