Changes to lintian/linda are often mentioned in that discussion.
Roughly speaking, we need these tools to:
- no longer complain about "Homepage:" being an unknown field
- warn people currently using the trick of mentioning the Home Page in
the package's description and suggest them to move this t

Hi,
I maintain two packages:
T, in Debian with version 3.2.5-1
K, in Debian with version 1.0.2-1
The upstream developer for both apps recently released T 3.3 and K 1.1.
Problem is:
K 1.1 requires T 3.3
T 3.3 breaks K << 1.1
Avoiding the case where K 1.1 gets installed with T 3.2.5 is easy (using

Hi,
I think one technical solution which seems o be good to one person may
not be good one for others.
You must think realistic solution which do not affect others in any
negative way and possibly give more benefits than just solving your own
corner case problem.

Hi Thomas,
please don't upload any xmms packages anymore; but go for xmm2 or

Dear list,
I am ready to upload mdadm 2.6.3-1, but when I installed it on my
home machine just before I left to Ireland, it failed to boot. I am
almost sure that this was due to #441211, but I can't be sure.
Unfortunately, I also had to remove my vmware setup from the laptop
due to lack of space,
Yes and no. Although IP addresses are a better tracking mechanism than
User-Agent strings, each of them makes the other more effective. If you
always browse from one IP, and all the other people at that IP use
Windows, then this doesn't help you.
But maybe you use open wifi networks, and other

Consider for a moment a typical User-Agent string sent by a Debian web browser:
