Are you a DD or have you been a package maintainer before? If you
aren't a DD, we have a couple in the community that would likely
sponsor packages for you, or you can work with the Debian Ruby team.

* Verify the packages listed in CHEF-2249 [1] include all of the
dependencies of Chef
   Edit the ticket to bring it up to date

* Verify the packages listed in CHEF-2249 [1] are included in debian/sid
   Edit the ticket to indicate which packages need work
   The Ruby team for Debian has been migrating to gem2deb [2] and may
not have completed all the packages
   Help them transition packages [2]. Some work may already be done in
our packaging repository.

* Prepare the Chef packages
   I build the 0.10 packages around gem2deb, but they probably aren't
lintian clean and will likely need some work to meet debian policy
again
   If you get here, let me know and I'll pull some memories out of my
head about what should be looked at first.
