 We've accumulated a variety of debs on deb.tp.o, with a variety of
 maintainers. I think the knowledge of who these people are is not recorded
 well.

 Step one, we should figure out who is in charge of each of the debs that's
 there. For example, is the pyptlib deb there because of one of the obfs
 debs? Or is it leftover from something and nobody needs it anymore?
 Similarly, is tor-arm there because it got brought in as a dependency
 to...something else that's there?

 Then step two, we should write all of that in one place (a page on this
 wiki? a text file in the deb.tp.o root? someway else?), and make sure that
 those people know that they have the responsibility to keep their debs up
 to date, or to decide to take them down when they're no longer needed.
