You are free to talk with upstream author about your suggestions. =) You mean I should bypass the Debian bug tracker and the package maintainers to get things fixed? I mean you should better contact ldapscripts author directly if _you_ have some ideas about improvements in _his_ software. As maintainer I can fix obvious bugs, or forward some real problems to upstream. But when you want to share your _ideas_ I'm just an unnecessary retransmitter. Ldapscripts author Ganael could be accessed via bugtracker on http://sourceforge.net/projects/ldapscripts/ or directly via e-mail (see copyright file). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
