I'm completely lost on this thread, and I suspect a lot of other people are. I never entirely understood what your initial problem was, and the subsequent bickering is getting ridiculous. (not to mention that it's going nowhere)
I would like to politely request that you state your problem clearly (I don't see "Squad Helps Dog Bite Victim" anywhere in the Constitution) or kill this thread and bug now. I might add that you will probably get a less frosty reception if you avoid grandstanding about how Debian developers are clueless programmers who don't know how to write. Regardless of whether you believe it to be true, attacks (or percieved attacks) on your audience are pretty much at the top of the list of ways to get yourself ignored.
