What about > series.fooix ? I don't think it decides that question at all, so the broader question about whether Debian wants to allow vendor-specific series files other than Ubuntu's is still open. My point is only that it makes sense that, even if Debian decides to support vendor-specific series files in general, Ubuntu could still decide to not support one for Ubuntu in particular, and that has ramifications for what Debian may want to accept. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
