It is a hack because it is not necessary to do this split. You propose to make ocaml_3.06.orig.tar.gz an empty new package and people who used to get the sources with apt-get source are going to be confused. We don't have to do bugware in order to work around others' problems. I think it would be possible to ship everything in a single package, even this versioned package, instead of having multiple packages. > new > name, so it can go into testing.

If it is just a matter of removing packages from testing, we must ask again for the removal until it is done. > o We don't move and wait for other to fix the postgresql/libvorbis > bugs.

According to the BTS, ther aren't any bugs with libvorbis. -- Jérôme Marant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://marant.org
