But the pointer (reduced to a one-liner) must stay. The problem of Debian hacks has been discussed with upstream in the past and we decided to output a message to inform users, when they are using non-upstream features, that change the behaviour of docbook-xsl. When upstream adds a quiet parameter, I will respect it, so you can suppress any output. But currently there is noch such parameter and I'm not going to add one just for Debian. > The Unix way is that if a program has nothing surprising to say, it > should say nothing. In this case it has: The patch changes the expected behaviour. Maybe you are informed after a while, but new users of docbook-xsl must be informed too. I think, the one-line information doesn't hurt. So: The bug-script contains a pointer and the output contains pointer, whereas README.Debian contains the full information.
