Max,
   Considering that I was only accused of not notifying
other maintainers on commits rather than any error in
packaging, I find your demand that I go through a full
review process (satisfying all developers involved) to
be extremely high-handed. This weekend I wasted a complete
day on the following change...

1) Original code

Installed info files in %/share/info and only distributed
with gcc4x package

2) Revised code

Installed info files in %p/lib/gcc4.x/info and resort to
update-alternatives to symlink these in a post install script.

The net difference? The gcc4x-compiler package contains
*unindexed* info files in %p/lib/gcc4.x/info. So only users
who realize that info can invoke the complete path can
acccess that info file. Is that really worth my weekend?
Apparently you think so. Hope you had a nice one, as
I certainly didn't.
    Without commit rights, I am at the whim of any fink
developer who has an axe to grind on the packaging. There
isn't enough hours in the day for that. We have far more pressing
things to fix (like trying to fix gcj java compilation for
gcc45 under 10.4/10.5). No, you would rather I squander my
time on playing at Debian. No thanks.
            Jack
