Contradiction. _If_ you interpret my proposal _back_ _then_ as a command,
which I don't. ;-) "Command" is what I called you asking me for sth. and
blaming me of being inactive (for whatever reason - you can't tell if
someone you haven't met before in life is maybe struggling with sth.
else in life.)

In this mail I actually stated that (1) it would be _possible_ for me to
do in Xenomai exactly _what I would change in Debian anyway_. and (2)
that I want to prevent duplicated work. So if I consider stuff in Debian
as working, I can't put much more effort into Xenomai's debian/, to do
different stuff you propose. Sorry - merely time restrictions - please
don't take it personal.

OK, under those circumstances of slightly diverging (i.e. minor but
conflicting in terms of project management) goals[1] I propose you commit
Xenomai's debian/* changes yourself without the need to wait for my comment.
In turn, I'm maintaining Debian's debian/* and synchronize as much as
possible (in the interest of both projects and their users). However,
there will be occasions where Xenomai's and Debian's debian/* will need
to diverge, which is fine, e.g. in case of Debian forces me to freeze
Debian, but apply security fixes etc., and Xenomai in turn wants to
support stuff that Debian can't always synchronize with.
Peace,
Roland
