We can't expect from any maintainer the ability to be able to modify the code of their packages. At least that is the impression I got when joining Debian - we are packaging software, not developing it. If the maintainer develops the software as well that is a nice bonus but I don't think that this is really needed. I don't think that I would be able to do a security fix for mozilla or to some gs internals for example. Thanks Torsten
