It seems there has been some misunderstanding on my side. In my mind, I wanted to not "escalate" this to the team and give Sebastian the chance to take care of this himself, which is why I pinged him on Monday after not hearing since Wednesday and then only send the email today after it's been a total of 8 days. I understand now that I should have just asked the team directly, and want to apologize if I caused any grief. The whole merged-usr topic is pretty heated, and I realize that the way I mistakingly framed this was not the most constructive way to make progress. -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en
