I just saw all of these bug reports come in and I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time not only to file each of these bug reports but to look closely at each package and provide individual recommendations as to what need to be done. I am sure it took a lot of time to do so and it makes everyone else’s job much easier, especially those who are not as familiar with D-Bus options. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
