Thanks for explaining. Very interesting examples. Possible conclusions: - we need to be involved upstream in core projects if we do not want to be neglected - improving OpenSuSE and other distros is another way to help upstreams remember how to support more than one setup - helping RPM and other Red Hat infrastructure is valuable, so they can experience the features that it would be nice to preserve in Debian - sometimes package maintenance involves hard dilemmas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
