Thanks. I note, though, that your stated position doesn't contradict the above point: that Debian source packages are part of Debian. > Rather, you should probably assume that most people are uninterested > in having this argument for the 14th time.

Okay. Is it accurate to say, then, that you and I agree these files are distributed as part of the Debian source package, and thereby part of Debian? If so, then I understand your position as being that, while these are sourceless files distribuited as part of Debian, they do not constitute a problem worth spending resources to address. -- \ “There are no significant bugs in our released software that | `\ any significant number of users want fixed.” —Bill Gates, | _o__) 1995-10-23 | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
