I'm going to wait and see what the outcome of Frank's query is before changing this, but thank you for pointing this out. I should have checked this myself. A Policy "should" should translate into at least a lintian warning, and a release policy "must" should translate into a lintian error, so unless Policy changes, I expect I'll at least partially revert this. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
