And another week passes....
This is getting silly - I've had no response from anyone, and don't seem to
be the only person mailing this list saying 'help' and getting no response.
Who is supposed to be dealing with buildd config updates, and what does one
have to do to get a reaction from them?
I know we're all busy and all that, but if someone just replied saying 'yes
I'll fix that at some point' or 'you can fix it yourself here' then I'd shut
up. But total silence isn't very satisfactiry.
In the meantime I'll build and upload a version myself as I do have arm
machines I can use for the purpose but this is merely working round the
misconfiguration, rather than fixing it.
