A hobby server? OK; sorry: I saw "server" and read that as "important server".
But in truth, you should be -filing- bugs against things you find wrong, for the following reason: not all developers read debian-devel, so your concerns, as important as they may be, may or may not reach the responsible parties, and without a subject line more suggestive of each problem (as in the subject line of this note), you can't guarantee the right person will actually read the note. This erupted into a mild flamewar (well, two if you count the one about the email header issues wrt who to reply to), which some people will ignore, and again this adds to the probability of the appropriate person reading the note. But, and yet again, you can't do much complaining about the dist in its unstable form for the simple reason that you aren't seeing what it will be like when it is stable. There will always be situations in unstable debian (like it or not) under which two packages that are supposed to cooperate are out of sync, version-wise. In stable, that -shouldn't- happen. If it does, it's a bug. Perhaps the best thing to do when you find a version skew between two packages, is to contact both maintainers, and ask them together what the situation is. Perhaps one has a package stashed somewhere that would solve one or more of your problems; perhaps the two maints are unaware of each other, and your note could then serve to encourage them to begin working together on a solution. The usual thing that happens a lot, is both packages were uploaded, but one didn't make it that day; looking in incoming might reveal what you're looking for. -Jim
