If they distribute their work without an e-mail address attached, should the Debian packager go dig one up? If they distribute their work with the attached e-mail address obfuscated in some way, should the Debian packager un-obfuscate it? -- Programming should be fun, otherwise you're doing something wrong. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
