Ah hah!  Yes, I see this makes sense.  Still h

Yes - I welcome peer review.

Yup yup, makes sense.

Very likely!  However, I'm only a centos and ubuntu kinda fellow, so I
don't know for sure. That said, I developed my instructions by creating
VMs at Digital Ocean (https://www.digitalocean.com/products/compute/),
installing and the destroying the VM to start over to make sure it
worked right from scratch.  They offer Debian VMs, so I'd be happy to
test when the tie comes.

Yes, that'd be ideal.  I still have some concern as there no
"documentation" project.  GitHub works such that you have to make a fork
of a repository, make your changes and the submit a pull request back to
the parent repository.  Should we just pick one of the semi-applicable
repositories there or maybe wait to hear back from Marc.

Yes, I do as well.  It's a best practice that I strongly recommend. For
my internal instructions based on a vanilla ubuntu install, I only had
to redirect traffic form port 80 to 443 as sympa loads on any port via
/etc/apache2/conf-available/sympa.conf which is added via the sympa apt
package.

oh, that'd be nice!  And yes, Marc hopefully has info on github as well.
