Please stop starting new threads with the same topic. Discussion of a design to "resolve" this issue, needs to happen with the Design team, as well as engineers who would be implementing the feature. There is no "sponsorship" of bugs in Launchpad. If there is already a bug about the window contro

Does GCC 5 do something to cause dpkg-gensymbols to break? For example, I was checking the list to see if anything I deal with directly was broken, and checked a few of the other failures for packages I depend on, to see what to expect.

This project is not hosted on Launchpad. It is hosted on Sourceforge. The Launchpad page was created to import the code from there.

It looks like they do not use Launchpad for development, but rather, the branch on Launchpad is imported from cvs on Sourceforge. That may also indicate that the upstream is inactive. But you will need to contact the upstream developers to get any changes merged into the project. On Tue, 2012-02-
