Oddly enough, though, I don't see a bug report from you (or anyone else) against either package. This would seem to further reinforce my impression so far, which is that your intention is to make a lot of noise without doing any work. Reporting a bug is a very small amount of effort, approximately the same as that required for you to post this message, but much more useful. > This is a *known issue*.

Debian didn't have a release a decade ago, nor a bug tracking system, nor a security team. So to whom exactly did you make this *issue* *known* within Debian a decade ago? Or at any other time? -- - mdz
