Package: publicsuffix Version: 20170424.0717-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
at publicsuffix.org they recommend to avoid downloading the list too often, and recommend once a day. A dependant package, python-publicsuffix, offers a fetch() function which is explained in a blog: https://www.tablix.org/~avian/blog/archives/2015/07/python_publicsuffix_release_1_1_0/ What is the Debian philosophy here? A debian server could fetch the list daily and then issue a new release only when there is an effective change. That would seem to be optimal. Or maybe that would lead to unmanageably high version numbers?
