I assume this is meant only as flamebait, since it is fairly obvious that there are often good reasons to prefer other means of contacting maintainers, over mass-filing bugs in the BTS. > IMHO somebody who derives from Debian is just a special type of a Debian > user (he just uses the code basis) and for user wishes we have implemented > the wishlist tag in the BTS.

This is an extreme oversimplification of the situation, but if you are convinced that the correct approach is to mass-file Ubuntu patches as bugs in the BTS, feel free to propose it clearly on debian-devel, as is customary. It should be a simple matter to script the submission process. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
