WTF? No, I was unaware of this additional deviation from Debian. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Knowing that, it makes better sense that you can be talking about the option to taking over a package while not even caring to mention that if doing so, you will be ditching the executable part of it. > You saying you are interested in having the whole resvg in Debian is enough for me, I'll take care of whatever is left in NEW.
