I agree that this bug should be fixed on stable. It's annoying. We know the policy but maybe we don't remember the idea behind it? Here's my interpretation: allowing only fixes for security holes and severe bugs is to keep Debian stable as stable as possible. I think this is the main point. Fixing a man page has no effect on Etch's stableness so in my thinking it's not violating any policy. I think Debian folks shouldn't just read the letters but also the spirit of the policy.
Thanks anyway! Aptitude is a great tool and for me Etch has been really realiable working partner for about year now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
