Counter-arguments for the > general case are welcomed. Orphaned packages list debian-qa as maintainer. That means all bug reports go to debian-qa. There are several people that take care of these packages and try to fix bugs (e.g. the recent security problems in ntop). When you say these packages are non-interesting: There's noone who wants to maintain them at the moment. Does this mean that there are no users of these packages? > Thanks, > > > Marcelo cu, Adrian -- A "No" uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a "Yes" merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble. -- Mahatma Ghandi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
