I have no special interest in me being the person ensuring that resvg stays in Debian. If you take over maintenance of resvg, and you do that by only caring for the library, and adding back the executable and its man page only if someone else does the work for you, then I would rather add resvg as package number 663 in the horribly long list of packages I have taken responsibility for. What is the short version of the above 3 sentences? That I prefer to maintain resvg or that I prefer to not maintain resvg? I kindly ask you to *maintain* what you choose to maintain in Debian. I highly appreciate that you maintain packages in Debian, regardless of the amount. I do not like it if you maintain without fully maintaining, regardless of the amount. Then I prefer to pile more onto my own list. But no, I really do not prefer to maintain more packages. If you uploaded by accident, and don't want to maintain what you uploaded, then I (am confused why you uploaded at all, and) want you to simply say "whoops" and correct your mistake. Not offer to maintain the package if you are not really willing to do that. If you never offered to maintain resvg then how did this conversation emerge? Did I try to bend your words, when all you initially said was "whoops" and informing me that it was a bleep on the radar soon gone? If that's the case then I apologize for the confusion I have caused: Please simply continue correcting your mistake, no need to elaborate on all the possible ways *others* than yourself can handle the package onwards.
