Hi!

The goal was not to be offensive, but to tell that there was nothing to
do about it, it's like that and that's all. I know there are good
reasons, and I understand them. This doesn't make me feel better knowing
the reasons.

I'm going to change it, but I think it's a bit silly to file a bug
against my package for so few. A quick message to my mail would have
been enough, I think. I'll have to add an entry to the changelog, check
it's marked as done, people will see it publicly and notice it, and
might think you are right, and I'm so bad, etc.

Tell you the truth, I do find offensive that you take it so bad that you
have to file a bug against it. Do you realise how much effort I've put
in being policy compliant so nobody complains about it anymore? Did you
understand why I wrote this, and what's the goal of our control panel?
It's goal is to configure things, and the policy forbids to do so. Of
course, I don't like the policy because I believe it's too restrictive
to accept an APP like ours, I think it's understandable.

P.S: Please don't flame me back in a reply, I'm going to change it
anyway, and I don't want you take this reply as bad as the text in the
README.Debian...
