Hi Raphael, I disagree with your sentiment that this is a wishlist bug (I still think it's serious), but have refrained from reassigning this bug to the tech-ctte so far. (Playing BTS ping-pong is no option neither.)
Now I've seen you fixed the bug in sid (thanks!!), but as it's unclear if the
new upstream version will be accepted, I thought I remind you. Thanks again +
already!
cheers,
Holger
P.S.: you've said in 602738#10 that policy doesnt specify that a package
cannot seriously loop (eating all cpu, mind you) - that is right, but
irrelevant ;-) A package must also not be too buggy to be released, endlessly
looping qualifies as "too buggy" :-p
This is described in http://release.debian.org/squeeze/rc_policy.txt - see 5a
Also please note that this needs to be fixed _not_ because of piuparts, but
because of automated installations. piuparts is just a tool to detect such
problems, _before_ they bite _humans_ using your work.
