I have a little experience with packaging.  I patch some of my Ubuntu
packages with new features, update them from new upstream sources,
rebuilt a few Edgy packages for my Dapper system, or just rebuild other
peoples packages for amd64.  I haven't really gotten involved in the
Ubuntu packaging community, though I should package my eMusic client
when I make the next release.

I've reported and provided fixes for some packaging problems I've
encountered.  This Launchpad search should show them:

I listed my programming experience in the last mail.  I'd be glad to
assist someone working on new or existing Ubuntu utilities, particularly
those written in Python.

Hope that helps,
