I think that works well. It's better than requiring a separate

anyway for those cases in which you might want to log the

Hi,
I know there is a www-data policy somewhere, but I can't seem to find
it in any policy document. Can someone tell me where to look?

No, this is silly. When you install a package, it is for use. If you
don't intend to use it, why install it?
Incidentally, can we do something about the insane CC line please?

I would say that if we are going to be putting effort into something,
that the effort be put into code audit instead of StackGuard. That
would be more likely to find and fix problems, and would not be so

I think it does a disservice to people if Debian's default mail reader does
not work with Debian's mail servers.

Hello all,

the defined behavior when necessary; however, I would like to discuss a
situation not contemplated by that section.
The situation is this. There is a mailing list management program that

Hello,
Recently there have been several things occuring that have prompted me to
start asking about this:
* Despite having Important, Critical, or Grave bugs filed against their
packages in frozen, some developers still ignore them. They could
at least say "I can't fix this; can somebody
oject by reporting a bug.
I often don't have time to figure out the problem and end up deleting
packages if they're non-essential -- or doing some quick hack to fix
it.
BTW, while we're on this topic, I am ASTOUNDED at the number of
packages that display messages in postinst but don&#x
The fact is -- if we require research beforehand, there will be FAR
fewer reports. I for one will not submit any (or very few at least)
bug reports if this happens. This will end up hurting Debian
seriously.
