This will be fixed in the next package upload anyway. I'm confused. Does the Debian Project actually WANT people to file bug reports? If not, why bother having a public bug-tracker, where the standard reply is, "That's not a bug, you're just too stupid to understand the perfection that we've created." Conversely, if bug reports ARE wanted, then why is it considered appropriate to reply in such a condescending and insulting way, to the people who file them? Do you want bug reports, or not? Would anybody care to argue that this current case is NOT a bug? Should I infer that in the future, you would prefer that I f*** off, and mind my own business? -- Ian Bruce
