Package: hinfo
Version: 1.02-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 3.3
In my opinion, hinfo is currently nowhere near being able to ship. It
ships out of the box with a number of significant bugs that have been
reported in some cases for over a year and a half, without any
maintainer action. While none of these bugs in an of themselves is RC,
the amount of user hacking required to make this package actually
function as it is intended after installation to workaround the numerous
bugs is not the kind of thing to be expected from a debian stable
release.
While my statement that policy 3.3 has been violated is clearly
contrived, as there is a maintainer listed in the control file, I
suspect that he'll ignore this bug just like he's ignored all the other
bugs, and that in itself will be the proof that policy 3.3 has in fact
been violated.

This submitter has submitted many overinflated severity bugs, and now
thinks hinfo should not be release because they arn't fixed instantly.
Most would have been fixed if the users had used hinfo-update. DNSbl
and whois info change to frequently to expect values shipped in a
Debian stable release to remain constant.
