I'm glad to hear that. > Again, what does Debian(as a community/organization) have to do with a > maintainer fixing a minor bug? Imagine you are the developer of some random piece of free software. You don't necessarily use Debian; you certainly don't understand all its systems and protocols. The conventional way to get in touch with the developers of a free software project to raise an issue is to write to the -devel list. It's not surprising that this is what people do with debian. By all means suggest they write to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but there's no need to flame people for doing the normal and reasonable thing. -- Martin
