  Yeah, I was sort of including the QA process under the umbrella of
the "package management" term, but you're right that the two concepts
should be brought up separately.  After all, it's only the heightened
attention to detail and diligence that allows the tools to be as strong
as they are in the first place (see my comment in the previous email
about apt-listchanges).

  Speaking of apt-listchanges, I know this is OT but does anyone happen
to know why, as of a not-so-recent-anymore version, the followup
changelog mailings are showing up with everything all jumbled together,
like there aren't any line breaks or something?  I thought it might be a
character set thing, but I tried both us-ascii and iso-8859-1.
