Ah, thanks, that's reassuring then. It's one of the things I was worried about when having to decide whether to merge the patch I've got implementing this support into dpkg. So, once the alpha version has been packaged for Debian experimental, I'll test the patch and commit it. > This would actually help us because having people > test and give us feedback on both performance and the interface would > help before committing to things in the stable release. Given that this will be disabled at configure time (until the support is in Debian unstable), I'm not sure we'll have many people testing this, but I guess it will make it possible for people wanting to test it to do it more easily. And there's always the option to do that over the entire Debian archive or similar. Thanks, Guillem
