This is relevant how? Policy is not being followed. In sid, we can easily change policy, or we can easily change package scripts. In woody, anyone who links /bin/sh to a shell allowed by debian-policy, whether Debian zsh or a shell which they have compiled themselves, may be suddenly deprived of installed documentation and other random things. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
