Point 2.1.1 of the Debian Constitution is relevant here. Under the Debian Constitution, you have no grounds for expecting the d-i team to work on this on your preferred time scale. If you want to get work done that other people have not completed as fast as you would like, I suggest investigating how you can do that work yourself. Not to mention that my impression was that the first part of the problem that I stated is actually harder than the second part, so I think targetting the d-i team here in particular is questionable. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
