I dont understand, Enrico was suggesting that debian-np-devel package
be created that includes:

. dependency on debpartial-mirror package
. dependency on CDD-tools package
. Debian-NP documentation 
  \ Experiences
  \ Best practices
  \ Debian-NP development documentation  
  \ Links to useful projects and contacts
  \ NGO experiences
  
What you and zufus are working on would replace debian-np-cdtool, this
is completely different.
