While it's true that there _are_ automated tests for some (important!) parts of policy, I really do _not_ want ftp-master installing and deinstalling a bunch of stuff in order to tell me that Foo needs to depend on Bar. I also do not want ftp-master to waste time questioning why libfoo-perl does not depend on libfoo1 perl (which would be easy to catch and also a mistake to fix -- yes, I'm thinking about one very particular example of something still stuck in NEW last time I looked) Have ftp-master question copyrights where -legal already reached a (positive!) consensus if that gives them joy... but have them say something! Again, I'm really not talking about plain silly and stupid. I would have thought that was obvious. Marcelo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
