A bug on 'general' will be fowarded to debian-devel anyway and I suspect that the response won't be as favourable as could be. There will probably be a lot of opposition anyway, but IMHO a normal posting to -devel announcing the filings would be the better way. Then again, I think solving this problem in another way is preferable. just my 0.02 ?, Michael
