Hello,
For a complete discusssion see http://bugs.debian.org/183357
Currently the exim4-packages cannot provide /usr/sbin/exim (only
/usr/sbin/exim4) because exim v3's init script up to version 3.36-4
uses something aequivalent to this to check whether it should do
anything: [ -x /usr/sbin/exim ]

I'm not Debian developer but I maintain few packages outside.
Main package is rox (ROX-Filer). Some time ago new version (3.5.9) of
Debian policy came out and version 3.5.6 is marked as 'out of date'.
After checking upgrading-checklist.txt I don't know clearly if I can
bump it or not - can some

Reading books is theory, regardless of what they cover.

Hello,
I have been working on packaging libgdsl (the general data structures library),
and am almost finished packaging it, and I have permission from its author. I'm
unsure exactly what to do next, however, because it is unclear. Am I supposed
to file an ITP bug against WNPP? Or should I find
