From a maintainer's point of view though, I think a two days old bug on an actively maintained package doesn't warrant a zero-day NMU that replaces the upstream source. > > Peter, the file /usr/share/doc/bglibs-doc/latex/Helvetica.ttf in the > > bglibs-doc package is from the GPL upstream tarball.

Shouldn't you know when doing the upload? Please first check whether a bug report actually reports a real bug. Unfortunately ``knowcking out'' the NMU isn't possibly AFAIK, you replaced the package source in the Debian archive. IMO you should either have contacted me before, or used an urgency medium, and upload the NMU to a some-day delay queue; it's the same effect to the package, but gives the maintainer some time to re-act. Now I have to deal with the broken upstream source in Debian sid. Thanks, Gerrit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
