For $DEITY's sake. Will you please understand that the Ubuntu folks
totally failed to inform their fellows about what was going on ? And
at the time, there was no Canonical website, no Ubuntu website. Only a
handful of patches up on no-name-yet.

I think we deserved a better explanation.

At the time of no-name-yet, they *were* hiding information.

I have no problem with posts about what's going on at Ubuntu, be it on
Planet or on -devel or on -custom (I don't read -custom, but I could
start) or wherever.

I have no problem whatsoever about working with the Ubuntu folks, and
you know it, btw :)

I never refused to work with someone. I never refused a good patch. I
never killfiled anyone. Debian is a teamwork, and I'm playing in the
team as much as I can. That's not true of everybody.
