No. Packages are not maintainers; please do not file bugs against packages which are not package bugs. If the maintainer is truly MIA, then the correct course of action would be to contact debian-qa, and have the package orphaned via a bug report against the wnpp pseudopackage. But it seems, from subsequent emails, that the maintainer is MIA. In any case, filing an RC bug about the fact that the package *has* an RC bug is definitely wrong. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
