You have already expended far more effort in whining about it than it would
have taken to apply the patches I provided. Whether you think it is worth a
bug report or not, it is incorrect, and you should just fix the bloody
thing. It would have taken about 10 seconds per package to pipe the message
into patch and make an entry in the changelog.
You also neglected to mention the less pedantic corrections I submitted for
your other packages, such as:
"hierarchie" (libdevel-symdump-perl)
"continously" (libfile-tail-perl)
"dynamicaly" (libfile-tail-perl)
"otheriwise" (postfix-tls)
which you also refused to fix amidst spouts of "fuck".

It may be in common usage in a conversational context, but that doesn't make
it appropriate for a package description. You'll note that:
- RFC1035 doesn't use this term at all
- The BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual uses "zone file" exclusively,
and never "zonefile"
- The Name Server Operations Guide for BIND (from BIND 8 and 4.9.4) uses
"zone file" exclusively, and never "zonefile"

You seem to find little reason to be civil to anyone. Just fix your
packages and quit name-calling.

Add me to whatever filters you like. Based on your behavior, I am not the
least bit interested whether or not you hear what I have to say.
The only package of yours that I use is dlocate, and you seem to have done a
good job of ignoring bug reports against that one so far, so I don't seem to
have anything to lose.

This from someone who accuses me of spamming for correcting spelling
mistakes.
Should you resort to such a childish attack, it is nearly as easy for me to
automatically close your auto bug reports as it is for you to automatically
file them.
