I'd like a black and white clarification of the impact
of the change so I know for certain whether to be
incredibly pissed off at the packager or not:
"If I were to dselect today, would I still
be able to print to file a website page
as ps?" [Y/N]
I do this as a matter of course, every single day
to archive data important to projects I work on. I
don't have time to rebuild mozilla myself all the time,
so if the answer to this is that I cannot... I have
four choices in descending order of desirability:
* find someone else with a repository that
overrides it.
* freeze forever / manually update selected
packages.
* abandon Debian mozilla
* abandon Debian
If it is true that someone out there is playing with
things important to my means of making a living, I do
not appreciate it in the least.
