I will take care of it from next time onwards. Due to very less people
contributing in synaptics I did not learnt such things. In fact I felt only
I was working on synaptics. This is the primary reason for writing
documentation so that other people can easily adopt such packages.

Now as the ubuntu bug control member I hope to adopt atleast one easy
desktop package with lots of people contributing in. I hope you could
suggest me one such, probably in which you may be working in. :)

Now I hope I know everything, atleast of synaptics debugging. Thanks to
Mattia, Peter and  some other upstream developers who take their time on
reviewing my documentation work. This helped me to get clear even more. :)
