First of all, repeated (well, kind ;) requests to install needed build dependencies could evtly. no longer be ignored silently. Most packages from respectable software authors in 'see-the-license' are "really ok" and often miss DFSG only on minor issues. While enforcing the buildd structure, discussions about autobuilding selected packages could be had. (M)any maintainers want their packages to be available for as many users as possible, it was just not possible to build them in recent past. Have a nice day, martin PS. Dict'ing the subject line confuses me even more. While i certainly have fun with the software, i hope that the originator of this subject did not mean to 'defeat expectation through trickery' or 'oppress'?
