I can also prepare a patch against Linux 2.6.26 if
Package: dailystrips
Version: 1.0.28-9
Severity: normal
If I redefine a class in my ~/.dailystrips.defs to fix a problem with
a strip, I then have to repeat the strip definition in my
~/.dailystrips.defs for the strip actually to be updated. Merely
redefining the class should surely be enough.

Severity: normal
The Dilbert class (dilbert-unitedmedia-srch-comics) no longer works.
The fix is simple: s/dilbert.com/www.dilbert.com/ in the definition.

I suggest you remove the playaudio script, which will work on few
systems, or conflict with sound daemons, and the playdsp script, which
isn't even called by current mime-support.
A better alternative is to suggest or recommend a simple

I checked the latest version of the patch I attached to this bug, and
it still applies cleanly to run-mailcap from 3.46-1.

Severity: minor
After rebuilding the info dir from scratch with update-info-dir, info

There was for a long time a similar problem with the autoconf
documentation, now fixed (#401648).

describe-function for Emacs-supplied functions, or for those in

their help text, although the source is present.

Every time I install a sun-java package I'm asked whether I agree

Well, no, I don't, but for one reason or another (compatibility, or,
today, packaging bugs in openjdk) I choose to accept those terms
nonetheless.

There was some recent support on bug-autoconf about why dash is not

improvement, it would be nice to make it possible, especially as dash

I wasn't aware that you couldn't alter things; as you can see, this is
the third suggestion for change I have filed against this package.
