Package: haskell-mode Version: 2.7.0-2.1 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: era+deb...@iki.fi Tags: patch The patch for #568579 would appear to also drop support for e.g. emacs-snapshot. I use neither emacs-snapshot nor haskell-mode, so I'm not going to push this any further, but if you publish ano

Bug#775974: lists.debian.org: Disable AHBL in SpamAssassin

Package: lists.debian.org X-Debbugs-Cc: era+deb...@iki.fi Apparently, all messages now get the AHBL hit, which increases the likelyhood of spam false positives. Spot checks reveal this problem at least on debian-user-spanish, debian-russian, and debian-l10n-french, but apparently, all lists are af

Bug#566943: Repro attempt

I tried to send email to 566943-h...@bugs.debian.org as suggested in the feedback from the (then?) list maintainer, and got nothing back. I sent another bug report in the meantime and that registered properly, and I got the expected reply, so my mail does seem to be going through, both ways. --

Bug#426166: Perhaps be more explicit about creating a separate file

I like this suggestion, but I had to read it three times to see that you actually mentioned putting these commands in a file. Perhaps this could be a little bit more explicit? For newbies, it might also be useful to say a word or two about how to create a useful name for the file (I personally ad
