[ There are two difference things here: I agree that if no vendor is set, Debian should be assumed but I don't think the choice of Debian's behavior for unknown vendors is the right one, I think I'd personally prefer erroring out to raise the issue, but that's only if there's a sane way to handle that properly, which could be your DEB_VENDORS proposal. ] -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
