Yes, although one has to be a bit careful about this. Some upstreams are land mines and the forwarding of patches has to be done very carefully and with specific types of justification. Otherwise, all you get is a rant about how Debian is breaking their software. I wouldn't want to subject someone new to Debian to that (or risk that someone new to that sort of interaction might make matters worse). -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
