The Debian Policy Manual specifically recommends against it (§4.13). See that section for the recommendation against, and what to do instead; see the footnotes from that section for the rationale. > Should i contact upstream and report this problem ? You should let them know it's a problem, and why. Be prepared for the common answer that upstream *doesn't* see it as a problem; in which case, you'll have the task of politely trying to convince them, and meanwhile maintaining a patch against their code to fix the problem for Debian. -- \ “Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take | `\ for granted … but to weigh and consider.” —Francis Bacon | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
