Review: Disapprove

I invented packaging-dev to easily setup a system for packagers. It should depend on most packages that Ubuntu developers use (including those needed to contribute to Debian). It is intended for new developers who want everything they need. Developers who want a minimal installation should install the packages selectively instead of installing packaging-dev.

If packaging-dev depends/recommends tools that are *not* recommended by the Ubuntu developer community, it is a bug in packaging-dev. Please raise a public discussion for those questional packages. We already had some public discussion (IIRC on debian-devel) that influenced the depends/recommends/suggests list.
