If there is no way to actually share a file name without breaking the policy, there is not anything we alone can agree on without involving the whole community. I have absolutely no intention of stealing the /usr/bin/netgen from them ;) I have not asked the netgen maintainers directly, because the proposed package upload of netgen-lvs would not have a direct impact on that package. Also, I also consider debian-devel an open forum, assuming they also read here if interested (probably too naive of me). :) > (trying to find a consensus without half of the involved > party may be considered as rude, that’s probably not your intention). Absolutely not my intention. Thanks for pointing it out. You are probably right, but if I were the netgen maintainer, I could probably just as well think it would be rude to be contacted to be asked to "share" a file name, when it can be solved without involving me - and it does not directly impact my package. :) Thanks again! Best regards, Ruben
