Huuu? SDE was introduced really recently, I wouldn't say that someone *generally* expect it to work. I (as developer) don't expect it. It is pushed by a certain initiative, it has a reason of existence, but I wouldn't call it standard, by far. > However, if this is not clearly documented, developpers might report > this wishlist again and again. And I will close it again and again. I have a rather rough stance concerning the BTS. Too many rubbish bugs accumulating (well, ok, it is still much better than Ubuntu, but still often a PITA where the problem is between chair and keyboard). Do you really think *any* developer will read man pages or README.Debian to find out whether program xyz supports SDE? I would be surprised.
