Another possibility is that one only actually decides that one is willing to maintain the package in Debian after having *done* a workable first approximation to packaging and found no monsters lurking in the makefiles. Posting an ITP for software that one does not yet *intend* to maintain but is only considering to maintain would be dishonest, I think. I wonder whether "Duck" would have been happier if the DD in question had written "I'll do that!" to the bug instead of "I have uploaded that" and then artificially waited a couple of days until uploading. I can hardly imagine that anyone would benefit from such a behavior. -- Henning Makholm "*Dansk Folkeparti*, nazistisk orienteret dansk parti 1941-1945, grundlagt af Svend E. Johansen og Th.M.
