while this is definitely a matter of personal preferences and you are of course all allowed to do so, let me tell you that there is an opposing position to yours as well. Some people (hi Jakub!) do not package their own upstream software on purpose for Debian because they believe that biases their work on either side. Clearly there are situations where packaging and distribution related tasks contradict with upstream's priorities and point of views. The Debian principle of backporting important fixes instead of upgrading for example is one of these things where upstream developers tend to say "WTH? Why don't you just use my latest version". -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D
