Hi,

After long period of thinking, I still don't agree with the decision to
remove DTC from Debian.

- If you feel DTC is not policy compliant, then I welcome you to fill
bugs, and by the way, you did it already.

- If you feel there's issues with the coding style, then go ahead as
well with the BTS. I don't mind if you send RC bugs against the package
in SID, and if it doesn't migrate until the issues are solved. Please go
ahead and fill one more bug about more though and consistent checks of
user inputs. I don't mind that, I agree with its principle, and I will
work on it. Once this is reworked, I can later ping you for a code
review, and we can see how it goes (P. Kern suggest that he would agree
to review later on...).

I think that going this way, with RC bugs preventing migration, is a
much more reasonable way to manage the issues.

If you feel like DTC should go away from old-stable, that's your
decision too, I can accept it (more easily than a removal from SID),
even though it would go against my opinion, since I think we should
continue to support what we have in a given distribution until it dies.

Thomas

P.S: FYI, I have sent updates in both SID and lenny-security (that last
one may be waiting on the security team approval...)
