Hello, I'm going to tag this bug wontfix because after discussion with upstream, they consider this a feature rather than a bug and I really doubt that they'll ever re-implement this option. It's also not the sort of thing that I'd want to see Debian maintain as a local patch. I agree with the idea of documenting it in README.Debian at the time that you submitted your bug, but at this point, with etch releasing with a version that requires schema checking, there probably isn't much point any more. All of the users upgrading to a new package would have already adjusted to this, one way or the other. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
