First of all, sorry, for spamming your system, Adrian. Second, please, chapter and verse. The only thing that I could find in a super quick (1 second) search was this:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-news-debian You seem to like endless argumentation over the internet, which, sincerely, I don't have time to. If you want to use something like face-to-face video conferencing (e.g., google hangouts or jitsi), I am all for a friendly chat with a like-minded person (it will be nice to know each other, after all) and summarizing that in an e-mail sent to the bug report. In absence of that, I will continue to inform the users of the package whenever something major like the support for combined download of multiple formats (which has annoyed a lot of people---me, the maintainer, include) *and* at least 3 users have thanked me for putting this finformation conspicuously for them. Regards, Rogério. -- Please, excuse the brevity and lack of formatting. Sent from my mobile device.
