Hi Torsten, It wasn't my intention to offend you. I'm not demanding anything, I would just like the package to conform to Debian policy (not just for the sake of it, but because changing the encryption strength from the default is a commonly desired configuration change which would be more convenient to do in the standard Debian way). Although I'm not able to take up your invitation to become a maintainer due to other commitments, the small contribution I am able to make is a patch that I believe fixes this policy violation. Working around the problem with dpkg-divert is less convenient and means the policy violation still remains. Thanks for all the work you do in maintaining this package; I do appreciate it. I regret not saying that earlier, and the fact that I disagree with your decision about this bug does not subtract from that appreciation in the least. Best wishes. __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers>.
