This is obvious. No problem with that. Hence this bug report to help maintaining. > I'm not maintaining something > I'm not going to use, not going to test, and that most people do not > care about. In my opinion a maintainer does not need to take personal responsability for everything. Offering as much flexibility and freedom to distro users, not imposing more rules than necessary is what I appreciate about Debian. "Works-for-me"-packages and having only one way is very limiting. Testing is what IMHO is done in the testing release. I tested and reported. I can also provide a patch, but I think it is trivial. Protection of minorities is IMHO also mentioned in the Debian social bylaws. Even if you reject bug reports for the lack of resources, allowing the use would be a good thing. For technical means, I explicitly point to the HANDS_OFF setting in /etc/mail/sendmail.conf in the sendmail package. > > - Your favorite distribution will soon have a GR about which init > system(s) will be supported in the future.

My second point is is very unexpected change (withdrawal) of functionality. The packaging environment offers various ways to care for this. Bye, Joerg
