I think you misunderstood me. Given there already existed a package in the archive, which was in good shape for the release, changing that package would be a bad idea. Every change carries risk with it, however small. Whether it's the maintainer or an NMUer making that change is less important. > Someone that does care and does have the time can go ahead and get the > features interesting them (and likely many other users) to work.
