This is totally orthogonal to a solution to the bug reporter's issue. Splitting the xscreensaver package up and shipping the same files in different sub-packages and adding alternatives or other metapackage complications will do nothing to solve their problem. Your motivation for all that extra complexity is also orthogonal to Debian: you're talking about an enhancement for Ubuntu. As it stands, you're talking about making Debian worse to make Ubuntu better, and that's a hard sell. -- 👱🏻 Jonathan Dowland ✎ j...@dow.land 🔗 https://jmtd.net
