That's not really true. Sure, you can telnet to the REST port and speak REST by hand, but that's hardly pleasant. At a minimum, you need mailmanclient. (There will be alternatives, there was a GSoC project to provide a client that integrates with Node.js. But at the moment that's not production-ready.)
Also, all this talk may be somewhat premature, as at present there's no authentication in the REST protocol, so everything needs to be on the same host. Andrew Stuart's authenticating proxy will help with that, but AFAIK it's not integrated yet. It may be worth waiting for that (and/or Mailman 3.1 with the migration story) before doing betas of the Debian package(s).
Good afternoon (UTC+0200),
Thanks for all your answers, I'm sorry not having answered earlier, but I was having an Internet free weekend.
Thanks for all your suggestions, I'll think about different sources packages, except maybe for mailman-core plus client?
Stephen, I was considering that 3.1 would be a better one to release in debian, but maybe starting before would be good to see how things would go. As I said, I did not for now packaged any big project, and I'm not a Debian Dev, so I might be slower than a well trained uploading DD.
If you think I'm wrong, I'm eager to wait, if not, maybe I should start slowly and try understand all dependencies and create a good bunch of sources packages so that we'll be able to go faster when 3.1 is out.
Thanks, and cheers,
