ARRGHH!!! It really ticks me off when someone: 1. NMU's one of my packages for a *normal* bug without even thinking of checking with me first, and 2. In so doing, manages to BREAK THE PACKAGE and give it a GRAVE BUG and 3. Doesn't bother to fix this bug, creating more work for me than if he had just asked me in the first place.
There seems to be a rash of this going on lately. I'm not pleased. Marcelo Magallon, I'm talking to you! So yes, this is why netmaze is broken.
