Sorry, I missed most of this. I get a lot of binary only NMU's from Paul and Roman with an accompanying diff that also goes in the BTS. I just want to register my vote for allowing this. It is an unstable distribution-- this is meant to be a temporary situation; putting the patch on the BTS I think easily qualifies as making the source available. Consider also, that even without the diff, a package is far easier to build than a typical DFSG compliant piece of software that I download from sunsite. DFSG does not say, 'must build with a single command on every platform' . Finally, it makes life much easier for both of the developers involved. John
