Well, yeah, but in fairness, in this case the "*very* bad idea" was not whatever Ubuntu did, but rather the blindly changing of every instance of "Ubuntu" in a translated text to "Debian". > Brand me a troll, It would appear that way ;-P That being said, I agree with you that something coming from Ubuntu is not necessarily a good idea for Debian, too. Even if that doesn't apply to this particular case IMHO. -- Fun will now commence -- Seven Of Nine, "Ashes to Ashes", stardate 53679.4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Because this *is* a bad idea. If you have localized text, blindly replacing Ubuntu with Debian will make it absolutely messy for languages that have different declension for both.
