Please do not take anything I wrote in this mail as offensive: this was
not my intention.

no undue worries.


i know a lot of people who hate it and have their cellphones switched
to vibration first thing after powering on the first time.

This is the key: *after* the phone has been powering on the first time.

well, it was mostly a matter of phrasing -- most phones do not allow disabling sounds before switched on (the treo 270, 600 and 650 have a switch, so, technically, one has not to switch on the phone).

furthermore, the intended audience of debian/fso should be able to

What is "the intended audience"?  I think you are a bit too naive here,
since you completely missed my point: not only because Debian does not
have an "intended audience" [a], but also because simply reading the

well, i think people installing debian on their fr (and that's the audience i was speaking of, not debian in general) could be expected to know what they do.

Please, no flame here, this discussion is about ringtones for the Debian
fso-frameworkd package.

right, i only try to make clear why i tink a recommendation is better then a dependency.

However, to better document how to create a local configuration for the
ring- and message-tones, I just committed [i] .  Please let me know if
anything there is not clear.

no offense intended, but how is the fiddling with u-a meant to be easier compared to installing a recommendation?

i think i fail to grasp the whole idea of creating an additional
pacakge (with data not necessary only, maybe, useful) and then forcing
it upon the  user.

I do not think I force someone to use these sounds

not using the sounds but installing the package.

However, since I am a kind of maniac for my Debian work and I do not
like leaving stuff undone, I already implemented fso-sounds-none [l].

now we're talking :-)
