This can be turned off either via the GUI, via entry in the config file or 
even from command line with -R.

Which means it will be automatically installed if you follow the
documented upgrade procedure (which involves aptitude, and aptitude
automatically installs packages recommended by new packages).

Or am I missing something?

No, it is only a recommends:
Depends: xserver-xorg-core, xserver-xorg-video-all | xserver-xorg-video, 
xserver-xorg-input-all | xserver-xorg-input, debconf, xkb-data | 
xkb-data-legacy, xbase-clients
Pre-Depends: x11-common (>= 7.0.0-0ubuntu3)
Recommends: laptop-detect, xresprobe, mdetect, discover1 | discover

Thus, you can install xorg without installing discover.
Do you always install with all recommends? That will pull in lots of useless 
stuff...

Yup, that's not supported in current pbuilder-satisfydepends codebase.
You're welcome to submit a patch, however.

Well, that could be a good case for using high priority. After all, in
your description, the occurrence of the note is rare, but when it is
shown you actually give it a high importance.

Xorg use discover for the autodetection of the Graphiccard

Now for 2 days I think, I have read on  that they
are working on it. (removing of discover and using the Xorg
own detection tool...

If I update 600 Sarge systems to Etch, they would currently install
discover as a depends.  And then I am in trouble since on the machines
I have recently installed (Clean Sarge) discover had detect nonexisting
Hardware and loaded over 100 modules for nothing (and conflicting).

Effectivly we need to load between 15 and 20 modules.

The dist-upgrade Woody=>Sarge had not the problem.

Unstable is good for development and nothing more.

I use Debian since 03/1999 and with Sid I had in the 7 1/2 years

Since X.org requires discover it is uninstallable on many machines
of my customers (I t loads tonns of modules they never need and I
am not able to compile over 600 different Kernels and I do not
know, how to blacklist the Whole Kernel-Module-Tree at once).

I hope this will be solved soon...

The package also provide some tools and a wxpython-based prototype for a

I'm looking for someone to package svn://svn.debian.org/debtags/python

2.4), but I don't want to learn the python policy just for it.

Hi,

I no longer have time to maintain root-portal so I'm asking if anybody
wants to maintain it.  One of the packages it depends on, libzvt is
orphaned so it probably requires a bit of work to port root-portal to
use vte instead.

If nobody picks it up, I'll ask for removal in a bit.
