No way of saying "This project is not packaged"

There is a related issue when I see this on my projects. When saying no, should I be directed to get my projects packaged in Ubuntu?

Sorry about the title and description changes...I edit the wrong bug without sufficent caffeine.

This requires a model change. There are two proposals:
  * Edwin proposed that we store the distroseries that was checked.
    * We recheck each series.
    * This means we ask when a new series is started, but we know that
      new series are identical to the last series
  * Curtis proposed that we store the date when the answer was no.
    * We recheck every year -- allowing enough time for the series to diverge.

I think rechecking every year turns out to be the best idea after all.

I like the timeout approach. Make sure it's a constant and that
there's a clear way to specify the package even before the time period
expires, in case circumstances change and someone wants to be
pro-active about them.

Sorry Jonathan.

I do not understand your suggestion.

I proposed that we add a button (This is not packaged in Ubuntu) to the form.
The action records the date in last_date_packaging_check.
When the current date < last_date_packaging_check + 1 year,
    the project page *does not* suggest possible packages.
When the current data > last < last_date_packaging_check + 1 year
    the project page suggest possible packages.

This rule is strictly on the packaging portlet.
Project series can continue to link to packages (though without the suggestion) from the
    series page
    and the packaging page
Series package pages will continue to suggest the project as the upstream.

I think you are suggesting that we set a time (maybe 2 months) in which Launchpad asks the question then?
This implies that the project has some date aleady present that we can use as the start of this suggestion period.
I do not know of a field that can be used.

No, I was suggesting exactly what you just subscribed.
