Which, of course, raises the question: - Is gdebi doing something wrong? Is there an alternative approach provided by VTE, which gdebi should start using instead? - Does VTE really lack a feature that is required by gdebi, so VTE should add? - Did VTE perhaps reject adding this feature (if so, why?), hence the need for the patch?
