Hi Holger, there seem to be different opinions on the design of the
package.  I have reasons why I do it the way it is, you seem to have a
different opinion and think it must be done differently.  But you
haven't convinced me yet.

I'm very sorry if I misread policy and did something wrong.  Can you
please properly justify the bug report and the RC severity by quoting
policy where you think the package violates it?

Thanks, Gerrit.
