No harm done! Sorry if I sounded a bit harsh, I have been trying to explain that to the lintian maintainers three time in a row without any success, so I started to feel like a broken clock. If you do not mind, please try to include some kind of motivation for your patches next time instead of a summary of what it does. It is rather obvious that your patch "Fix one call to gzip that was missing -n" but why you want to do that is to me to guess (and sometime I will guess wrong and draw bad inference). Cheers, -- Bill. <ballo...@debian.org> Imagine a large red swirl here.
