I wanna say the same point aloud too. Yes, this package should really be meant for cooker; however not absolutely everybody is following cooker strictly. Some may like to upgrade them one by one, instead of pull in lots of dependent but not strictly necessary upgraded packages. Perhaps the best illustration is given by the current KDE packages in Mandrake, which allows them to be built under Mandrake 7.2, 8.0, 8.1 and cooker. Given the time and human force, supporting all these versions is probably too tight for Gnome. But 8.1 and cooker are not so different from each other, so it might be implementable. Abel
