And why of all people should _I_ be responsible for the debian policy?
If debian can't get it right, I can very well crititise debian for it. My
criticism was always constructive (because I quite plainly said what needs
to be done in this - policy - case and also in this bug case).
Asking me to go and try to fix debian is simply the wrong and lazy way to
do things: it basically says, "I don't care enough".
And if you don't care enough, why do you think you can insult me by
claiming I spread FUD, when I, in fact, back up everything I say? What
gives you the right to criticise me in this discussion when all _you_ do
is spread empty words?
That's what I mean by putting your efforts where your mouth is. You are
quick at criticising others when they complain about debian, but when, oh,
there might be some effort changing things, uh, the others must do it.
It's not my job to propose exact changes to the debian policy. Quite
obviously, I already clearly explained that debian should have a better
policy, but apparently, pointing out the problems and how to solve them is
not enough for you.
And if highly visible cases like the openssl bug can't make debian to
change their ways, what signal does that send to me? If openssl and cron
and e2fsck doesn't wake up debian, what will? me? I don't believe it.
All you do is drag me down from *specific* problems (this and a few other
bugs in debians urxvt) into a generic "if you criticise, you have to fix
the whole of debian".
Not so, wrong construction area.
I am happy maintaining my packages in as high a quality I am able to
give it, and would be happy if debian would do the things they have an
expertise in and I haven't, such as maintaining the debian package.
