Why temporary, out of curiosity? This doesn't seem like a temporary problem; I think this is an issue that will be just as applicable for etch+1 as it is for etch, and I think we should be honest about that. I also think it's within the realm of reason for us to decide that source for things like firmware, fonts, and documentation is less important than it is for programs. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
