You (or whoever feels strongly about this) could also provide a motivation to ftpmaster@ why you believe so, and ask for reconsideration. Everybody, even the ftp-master team, can make mistakes, or be persuadated to change mind provided with a good argumentation. I also note that the only ftp-master team member that spoke up in this thread seems to be inclined to prefer contrib over main for this package. There was no mail at all to ftpmaster@ about this, nor a bugreport filed/reassigned to the ftp.debian.org pseudopackage. Shouldn't overruling of any sort only happen after talking to the involved parties failed to yield a satisfactionary response? C.f. Constitution 6.3.6: | Technical Committee makes decisions only as last resort. | | The Technical Committee does not make a technical decision until efforts | to resolve it via consensus have been tried and failed, unless it has | been asked to make a decision by the person or body who would normally | be responsible for it. Of course, this paragraph only applies if one assumes the (initial) authority to make the main vs contrib decision is with ftp-master, but I believe it is. --Jeroen Another FTP-Team member, who doesn't yet have an opinion on this matter, but hasn't been asked for one either -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
