I'm getting used to package software for debian, and this seems an
easy one, so I'd like to package it anyway (at least will be in my
repository and not in debian ones).
But, what are collection package? how could I create one? (just curious).
Regards.

I assume that doogie is referring to a source package that comprises
several different single file programs. This would reduce the number
of small packages and may as a bonus contain more useful programs for
the user. In this case several GMail oriented utilities could be
packaged as gmail-utils or something similar.
Regards,
Joey
