I'm quite tired that people tell me I should read the bug report, and make sure I'm aware of things. FYI, I have read the full bug report, and downloaded the package from snapshot.d.o to see what we were talking about. What I found was indeed a package that had lots of hacks in the debian/rules, but at the same time, absolutely all hacks where carefully commented with the dh_* equivalent. In fact, I found it very interesting to read, quite fun, and probably a good thing to show to newbies so that they understand what's behind the dh automagic "deliberate obfuscation". :) > The bug is now fixed, the package wasn't removed, I will not reply to > any messages relating to it or this bike-shedding thread either on or > off list.
