It can cause some upstream grumbling, but for example the next major version of OpenAFS will be usable without repacking (although I may end up still repacking to delete the very large WINNT directory that isn't used in the Debian build). -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
