Nope, i am saying that if the only communication channel between such important pieces of related debian infrastructure like the linux kernel package and the kernel-package package is plain wrong. > I disagree. > > Teaming up is great, but does not replace the core routines in Debian. > It just glues them better together. IMHO. Teaming up is all about communication. If some guys want to play it solo for such inter-related packages, that is a problem. I agree that this problem exists on both side in this case, but Bastian is at least part of the team. And bug reports are only so useful as the maintainers make them, as you well know, who left a pretty damaging RC bug open for months, rejected help in investigating it, and highly contributed to the near-desintegration of the kernel team in march by such behaviour (of which i also contributed i admit).
