You're right here. The explanation wasn't sent to all such bug reports and this was wrong. > You'll need to explain why gnome-games needs -Wl,--as-needed and > shouldn't be included in etch without it before I'll consider my NMU > as incorrect. (but correct as far as I knew when I made it.) Your NMU is highly aggressive. When there are more than twenty maintainers, with about half of them being very responsive, you should at least *talk* before uploading. I don't remember seeing you on #gnome-debian nor on any GNOME-related mailing list. There a reason why GNOME packages are team-maintained; it is precisely to avoid anarchic and contradictory technical decisions, and to avoid the need for NMUs. > > This pseudo-fix won't help anything.

(or any other RC bugs) Without arguing endlessly about binutils, I think a NMU for one of the 26 RC bugs on QA packages would have been much appreciated. -- .''`.
