Why should it be removed ? There is really no reason for it, we are not near the release in any stretch of the imagination, we are at least month from being ready. Also i find it really unacceptable that i get threated like that, while the ftp-masters are letting a package that fixes at least two RC-related bugs (altough not filled, but they know about it) rooting in the NEW queue since month. Again, debian shows that not all developpers are equal here. > Sven, I don't think it's really worth bothering you, but if the priority is > low, and you are busy, I can offer to NMU for you. I think it is not worth it until : 1) the autobuilder are fixed. 2) the NMU also fixes some of the more annoying bugs i am working on. Time would be much better spent fixing one of the billion other RC bugs around, instead of this minor bug. Friendly, Sven Luther
