I've applied a bit of polish to the text under [1], which attempts to 
describe our process for what is "an acceptable package".

I think these package proposals are all already accepted under the 
"requirement of an existing package" rule, but the text there asked 
people to "mention" if the new package is already included in a major 
Linux distribution, rather than clearly stating that is an alternative 
which also makes a package acceptable.
