Decide what? Which software is broken?

Of course the reason matters, but the bug simply was about a binary package not being available. IMO the only way to fix this is to deliver the package. > #441146 is about including it into the conglomeration package and thus a > bug in linux-modules-extra-2.6. > > the *new* issue is, unrelated to #441146, that virtualbox-ose modules do > no longer build since 1.5.2, and thus a bug in virtualbox-ose-source. > > it is the task of the module-source maintainer to ship a working > module-source package, not the conglomeration package maintainer; > therefore cloning, reassigned and closed the approriate bug. Fine with me. I don't mind having this bug reassigned. To be honest in my opinion we should have two open bugs, one against virtualbox-ose-source and one against linux-modules-extra-2.6 with the latter one being blocked by the former. I still disagree with you guys closing the bug though, though. Just for the record we should note that this bug had neither been reported against virtualbox-ose-source nor even communicated with the package maintainers. But then, given that you are part of the maintainer team for virtualbox-ose-source as well as the linux-modules-extra-2.6 team (or even its sole maintainer, too lazy to check) you might consier this enough information. > extremely sophisticated way to kill peoples time. No, just a try to keep our bug tracking system as open and informative as it can be.
