I hope that you pay extra attention to such codebases, since if they are prone of doing such a "software engeneering" lightly and at large, they are quite likely to be prone of embaking on even more ingenious initiatives. Such a package junk might impose significant loads to the seciruty and probably release teams, and might generally slow down Debian development, so these shouldn't be uploaded lightly IMO. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB 2003-03-18 <people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
