Would it be possible to record the name of the human that marked the package in debian/changelog? That would be a big help, I think (and hopefully avoid a discussion on debian-devel next time it happens) Probably requiring more work, but I wonder if it would be possible for the buildd -- or perhaps katie -- to verify that binNMUs don't render previously-installable packages uninstallable? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
