Unfortunately, something like @packages.debian.org doesn't map very well to how our development team is organized. Of course, [EMAIL PROTECTED] will reach the right people, but it also has too much traffic to be very reliable for this sort of thing. As I've said before, I'm happy to act as a point of contact personally, and pass on any communications from Debian developers to the appropriate team or individual within Ubuntu, wherever there is a doubt about who to contact. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
