  Where did I say it had to? Please read the thread again. I talked about
  Debian business, not Bas'.

  Did you ever consider contacting upstream before doing such
  denouncement? Don't they have something to say? Why do you think you
  cannot find a solution with them?

  You got it! It has nothing to do in a bug report log from our BTS:

    Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 23:17:21 +0200
    From: Robert Millan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
    To: Bas Zoetekouw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
    Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  Robert could have done it on his own without CC'ing the BTS.
