 I reported what I think are problems with the current wording just now to
 debian-policy, and yes, I believe that should block marking it as
 ACCEPTED.

Thanks Russ.

I found your arguments convincing (in 8739bcv2xz@windlord.stanford.edu
sent on debian-project, not -policy).  If you do not mind, I will be a bit
formal and forward them to the BTS.  Let's make sure to be clear that DEP 5
does not require to document more than the current practice.

Thank you as well for framing clearly the questions to the FTP Masters.

Have a nice day,

 The above notwithstanding, we can probably learn from this thread that,
 for the future, it would help to first announce I'm about to mark
 DEP-$x as ACCEPTED and then doing that.  I personally don't think it is
 a big deal, but given that others disagree, ... why not.

Dear Stefano and everybody,

this is probably the occasion for me to remind that I posted such a message for
DEP 5 last December, and that I have not read disagreements.

  http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2011/12/msg00011.html

While I wrote “in two weeks” at that time, it would have fell on the 24th,
which in retrospect I felt was not appropriate.  Now that I have almost resumed
my routine activities, I am ready to keep my promise, probably next week.

I do not intend to push a document on which persons disagree, so please, if you
think that there are serious problems with the current wording DEP 5, or if you
found an important bug in its syntax, report it to the BTS.

More than one year ago, Lars announced on debian-devel-announce “DEP5:
CANDIDATE and ready for use in squeeze+1”.  Let's make sure it happens.

Have a nice day,
