Thanks for sharing this with us :)

Well, I'm quite unsure that quicklifying an application will really be
easy. In addition to this, we depends on some well-known structure, make
some authoring and versionning automation, and such… Quickly is clearly
not only a "package my project tool", but rather a tool enabling
creating and working on projects easily.

If the dependency is in a ppa and that ppa (and additional package) is
available in the developer's machine when making quickly
package/share/release, the dependency list will be refreshed with those
modules.

This will soon be possible. We can let the debian/control file in
particular untouched (as well as additional files we add), by using
quickly configure in trunk, and that will tell to fully/partially (only
deps) or not regenerate this file. So, if more fine-grained control is
needed, Quickly will offer that. However, this won't be part of the core
experience, of course ;)

Great ;)

Should be fine, ensure to land features as soon as possible and we can
polish them then for beta. Thanks again on working on that :)
