Ok, I think I misuderstood your BR first. I though you wanted to have a more logical organization of the manpage. But you seem to actually want a major rewrite of the commands...
Damn it Jari. You cannot ask *me* stuff like this. This is a pretty damn upstream request. And no, I am not willing to forward this myself. I think upstream will answer they have real things to do and that if I want such changes, I am welcome to reimplement the tool... What I mean is that your request induce a quite heavy work to get fulfilled, breaking all kind of compatibility on the way for a quite minimal benefit. As usual, if you want, feel free to bug quilt-dev@nongnu.org, or the savannah BTS: http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=quilt Bye, Mt.
