Fabian, who do you think you are to call d-m-o's packages as 'crappy'? d-m-o is a traditional and very respected 3rd party repository for Debian and has been for years. I can't tell the same of you.
I think I am contributing long enough to Debian to be able to effort an opinion about others:

You know very well why it uses an epoch in their versioning: exactly so as people that want/need to use the extra features/packages it provides don't mix what shouldn't be mixed with the official Debian packages.
But they *do* mix. For example, d-m.o provides binary-imcompatible ffmpeg libraries that share SONAMEs with Debian's own. It simply breaks peoples' systems:

I'm not sure if you're a Debian Maintainer or not (or worse, Debian Developer) but this kind of big mouthing shouldn't be accepted from a DM/DD.
I am neither a DD nor a DM, just a regular contributor.
If I find out the proper channel for this I'll raise this subject so as the Debian contributors know that they should measure their words otherwise they should step down (even a 'do-ocracy' has its limits).
Who do you think *you* are. You are not going to shut *me* up. Oh, BTW, d-m.o packages are crap! ;) - Fabian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
