If you only adopt if you have permission (which you seem to imply here), this is not a hijack, and hence not controversial at all. It's only a hijack if you change maintainer without any permission from the previous maintainer -- for now, I'd suggest to indeed NMU and keep your offer to adopt open and wait and see. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
