I do care. But I also have no evil intention and won't sue. I mainly care for the bloat for ia32-libs and similar packages. Creating a 300MB ia32-OOo package and uploading that on each change was/is insane enough to release amd64/ia64 without it. But I can't in good faith fight for doing it the debian-installer way and build debs that will regulary be without source. It would be hard to convince ftp-master to do the "wrong" thing after they already decided to do the "right" thing anyway. That's why I'm looking for any idea to have binaries rebuild from debs in debian without risking them being sourceless. Maybe a patch for the DAK and an extra entry in the control file? Come on, spin your minds, think of something. :) MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
