This is the sad truth and has been this way for years. We can and will NMU packages which have obviously opposing maintainers, but this will not be done until at least one or two neutral pings have been sent to the bug report. All Debian maintainers are volunteers and at this point, I don't think a lot of them are actively hostile towards the hurd-i386 port, just not jumping to apply patches and might need a bit of nudging. > And that makes me very sad, we are just trying to contribute to Debian > too. Hurd is still a supported architecture, as decided on the ftp > maintainers meeting recently. JFTR, Kurt has been very supportive of the port and has e.g. analyzed elfutils test-suite failures on hurd-i386 on our porter machine himself.
