Let me compare two cases: - a package has it's documentation in /usr/doc - the maintainer gets a patch how to change it - the maintainer refuses the patch "I want to have the documentation in /usr/doc." - a package doesn't use debconf for interaction with the user while asking the user questions at installation time - the maintainer gets a patch how to change it - the maintainer refuses the patch "I don't want to use debconf." I don't get the point why it's all right to send a RC bug report in the first case but not in the second case. > Cheers, > aj cu Adrian -- Get my GPG key: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] | gpg --import Fingerprint: B29C E71E FE19 6755 5C8A 84D4 99FC EA98 4F12 B400
