Ok so as upstream we need to not only watch the bug queues of all the
distros which include packages for our project, but we need to learn the
idiosyncratic process each project uses for deciding if the package/s
are to be dropped? In this case subscribing to a developer centric high
traffic list or use some distro specific tool - you can't be serious.

They have never raised any issues with the project via our security
related email address - [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am more than happy
to discuss any concerns that they may have.

Our nightly build from stable RPMs are popular with users as they
contain many bug fixes which can't be backported to debian. I
understand the debian policy on this stuff, which is why it is my server
distro of choice. There is no reliable way to know how many people run
Debian and use phpGroupWare via the official debs or other sources.
Cheers
Dave
