I really don't know why you keep trying to frame this in terms of completely unrelated things and avoid discussing the actual problem that I have repeatedly indicated to you, since the very first day you asked for my opinion on making that change. The current blocker is that you have introduced an interface which requires root to run a generated script from an insecure location, and you refuse to discuss this or do anything to remedy it. So at this stage you continue to tie my hands. This is not an acceptable interface to introduce to a distro package. So either you need to fix that (which is the outcome I am hoping for), or someone else will need to fork this project and do that instead. And in the meantime the best thing we can do is stay with the version we have which does not have that problem. You cannot just jump up and down and insist that we ignore this and upload it anyway. But when you fix this problem, I will be happy to prepare a new version for Debian. I am losing count of the number of times that I have tried to patiently explain this. Please stop trying to sneak this change past other people and just fix the actual problem. That is all that needs to be done to unblock this now.
