(For the avoidance of doubt, I'm addressing the argument you paraphrase, not your own message.) I think this kind of argument is not very helpful. I don't think there is any need, from Debian's point of view, to fight that particular battle with Guillem. What Debian needs to care about is the behaviour of the version of dpkg in Debian. We routinely patch things (including removing warnings we disagree with). So declaring that "Debian is upstream" and fighting Guillem on that basis is entirely unnecessary. And it is also quite unpleasant. Additionally IMO it would be best if dpkg.org wasn't used as a weapon in this dispute. Right now dpkg.org doesn't say anything about this dispute. We could just keep it that way. That would avoid unnecessary drama. Ian. -- Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> These opinions are my own. Pronouns: they/he.
