It would be very nice to know what that reason is. Craig? The concern about dependencies doesn't apply. The rrdtool patch does nothing if rrdtool isn't found, so it's not really a dependency at all. > then why doesn't debian package is it as a separate > 'extra' package such as 'backuppc-rrdtoo' so that it's status as > something distinct from upstream is clear. Because that's not possible - the patch applies to the main code. If it were an additional file, you could do that, and Debian often does. It also bothers me that the rrdtool patch isn't upstream. However, as far as I know Craig has never explained why, nor officially accepted or rejected the patch. The problem here isn't Debian; it's the opacity of BackupPC development.
