I have filed two (from memory). I am aware of that policy. > IMO this is a subject that definitely should have been discussed on > d-devel _before_ the bugs were filed. > It was discussed. What sort of resolution would you like before these bugs were filed? If you mean that discussion of a proposed MBF should have happened then I'm not sure that what I have done warrants that. If someone was to collect all of the Ubuntu patches to do this and submit them at once then it obviously would. However, Ubuntu has only just changed to something that is acceptable to Debian and so most packages have not been updated yet. I'm not saying that there isn't a better way to go about this, but in this case a suitable package can be changed unilaterally with no effects elsewhere, so patches can be forwarded as and when they are ready. If someone is interested in seeing this happen then I would be happy to co-ordinate such that we can update all the Ubuntu patches to be acceptable to Debian, and then follow the procedures to propose a large-scale change to Debian.
