If you're building foobar 1.1-3, do you really recompile from a

As featured on Bugtraq and recently Freshmeat, slocate is a replacement for
locate/updatedb. It keeps track of UID's for files so that people can't see
other people's hidden stuff, while still seeing their own.

Ok,
let us a little bit summarize:
1. binary-only NMUs breaks policity
2. every NMU must be with source
3. Porters needn't to ask maintainers for permission
4. a NMU fixes bugs; no need to forward this to the BTS or the maintainer
ok for all ?
If the answer is 'yes' i agree !

I've been considering packaging snes9x, and was just wondering whether it
had already been done.
Also, are there any developers in the Southampton (UK) area? I could do
