If upstream includes the patch, that's fine. But I will not inlcude (and 
maintain, if the origin author isn't responsible anymore) such a patch into 
the debian package.

With kind regards, Jan.

Well, I am not responsible for the debian package.
And, I think, debian will only include it, if GeoIP is in the original source.

Personally I (and some other Mailinglist members) have doubts about scoring
of nationality, race, religion or even OS (p0f comes to mind, I question
more and more the sanity of p0f in a pre DATA context).

For those reasons I made ethically questionable patches such as GeoIP only
available as patch on the main home-page. I think that's a good compromise.

I.e.: those who really want a gun, must do some work for it.

p.s.: did you contact B. Hajduk? He was the original author of the patch.
