Most comments are just ignored. For example: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=474630 Matthias made a short statement about the problem and ignored the rest of the discussion. I had to switch to python-central to solve this bug. Josselin added a functionality to python-support to circumvent this limitation. Here is another example: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=475440 Some fixes were proposed to circumvent this problem but bug was just marked as "won't fix". This hits all users using easy_install (which is fairly popular among Python developers). And this bug is in Lenny. -- A TRAINED APE COULD NOT TEACH GYM A TRAINED APE COULD NOT TEACH GYM A TRAINED APE COULD NOT TEACH GYM -+- Bart Simpson on chalkboard in episode AABF15
