Note that I don't think it makes sense for Steve to work on such a package right now for exactly the same reason that I don't think it makes sense to start adding virtual packages right now, or figuring out the dependency structure in GNOME for non-systemd logind right now. Personally, I wouldn't want to work on any of those things until some of the currently extremely large probability space collapses. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
