I would argue that this depends on the upstream; some upstreams doesn't know the downstream implications of this and are slow at responding at issues. Others are very clear about it and this is the desired behavior; and they actually fix it quickly when reported. There is a difference here, and on some level that is up to maintainer privilege to evaluate the difference. -- Kristian Fiskerstrand OpenPGP keyblock reachable at hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net fpr:94CB AFDD 3034 5109 5618 35AA 0B7F 8B60 E3ED FAE3
