effectively asking that the dpkg patch (which isn't acceptable as it

I appreciate that you are worrying about the pressure I'm under, but I'll handle it,
it's not that bad. Things have become much smoother, the patches are in the BTS,
next week we'll do porterNMUs for the unfixed packages, and the only thing I really
worry about is java support and d-i armhf integration. We're already in the 87% of
the archive and the todo list gets shorter all the time.
Anyway, please feel free to take some time off and work on a PoC for what you
mean, if you're afraid that people don't understand your words, you can be certain
that they'll understand your code. Until then, I really find this discussion pointless.
