I think fixing bugs that will never apply at all to unstable(/testing/stable) is a waste of maintainer time. Users of unstable packages aren't just users, they're collaborators, and I think it's fair to ask users of experimental packages to bring their systems back into a consistent state on their own if an incompatible solution is pushed into unstable. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
