Maybe we can come up with a plan on how to go further. > Involving upstream in > some capacity might also be advisable, given their obvious interest in > providing Debian support. Yeah, given how active the ES world is, I'm pretty sure they'd help. Best regards, Radu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
