Hello, I have made a bit of cleaning in the BTS about the bugs open against util-linux.
There were (critical/important/normal/wishlist) : 1/4/48/9 I closed 3 bugs, reassign 1, merge 3. There are now : 1/2/46/8. I didn't give a look to the critical one. The two important bugs remaining are: one easy to address (SUID bit), the other is merged bugs (IMHO could be unmerged, one kept important --- severity could be decreased ---, the others merged with the other 3 --- documentation issues). The problem is that 15 (>25%) bugs are against `hwclock' alone. The most obvious lack is about documentation (we've been discuting this in the `Scary bugs' thread). What is the Debian-QA advice about this ? IMHO, it would be more easy to handle a small package, and to work hard on the documentation, than keeping a lot of very useful and used utilities merged, increasing the bugs against one package, and making hard for the maintainer to have a synthetic view of the problem, when a lot of problems reported are not software problems, but "user's" problems because of a missing documentation.
