I'm not so sure about this part. Perhaps an all-caps warning is in order, but for me, part of the allure of this tool is the ability to go back in time and build working source and binary packages. Uploading them to Debian isn't always the end goal. There is also no guarantee that a user's apt-get would be configured in such a way that it can obtain the source for the version in question. So I'm inclined to tag this one wontfix and set it to wishlist, but I'm interested in your thoughts on what I've said. -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
