I disagree, you can quite happily remove/comment out the deb-src entries and I reckon 99.9% of the users wouldn't even notice. It saves bandwidth, mirror load, and downloading unnecessary stuff to your computer. I don't have any deb-src entries and I have compiled stuff without any problem, also if you do do something that requires a deb-src entry, you will get an appropriate message saying so. IOW, I advocate leaving them out. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
