And those best practices doesn't need to be followed... Well, you'll get flamed
each time you will do such a NMU. Best practices have been written to work
*together* not against other maintainers. Now lets quote the devref:
"Make sure that the package's bugs that the NMU is meant to address are all
filed in the Debian Bug Tracking System (BTS). If they are not, submit them
immediately."
I can't find the bug closed by this NMU. Why ? Maybe because Daniel doesn't care
about current maintainer. The only thing he cares is *his* project debian-live.
It's also quite easy to hold some packages to create his live cd against a
2.6.16 kernel and related modules.
According to my irc logs, Daniel also seems that he doesn't care about
translators work, I think translators can thank him to not care about their
work.
Now suppose i have a bug on a package i use, i fix it, upload a package
*without* reporting my bug before, do you think the maintainer will enjoy such
behavior ? I think not, and he has good reasons to be angry against me. The
situation is the same here.

Definitly not Marc but people who don't know how Debian works, Daniel.
I'm in the NM process so feel free to ask FD or DAM to drop me from the
process, i don't care.
