Good point. But often who want to become a packager,  does it
to have at least his preferred ones on the system. That's good if he become a 
maintainer, because he uses them and at least we could hope they won't
be broken.
So why should avoid them to import new packages? 
I agree though to start working on bug reports and fixing existing ones, but
that is ok now because there are no real maintainers, so we could work on that
and this, but after....

How can we prevent that? even after the novice becomes official packager
that could happen....
