OK, I left some time to add the modules to the Pad. I've just added some of the depends to the essentials.

Now the question about upstreaming - will we try to update the modules to upstream version (so taken from Ubuntu/Debian)? I think we should, at least where we can.

If there's no upstream package, let's write NO UPSTREAM AVAILABLE, when we are updating - UPSTREAM. The other would be "to be decided". matplotlib needs upstreaming, so added this.

Should you find any more essential packages while doing anything, feel free to add them.

And please write which of the packages you'd like to take. I think that each of us should take one 'essential' package to start with. I'd take python-setuptools and I'd try upstreaming.

I won't be able to start porting before 15th Nov. When would you be able?
