There are a fair number of lintian wishlist bugs in that category. I suppose I could send a form letter in response to each one of them, but I'm not sure how useful that really is. I try to get to wishlist bugs for new checks when I have a chance, with the probability of inclusion raised significantly (but not to 100%) by having a patch attached to the bug. I think it's a lot harder to maintain a discipline of responding to every bug on packages that have 100 or more and receive 20-30 a month. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
