Well, i have not looked into it. If the patch is scheduled for upstreamn
inclusion at a later point, and thus of upstream quality, then we can include
it.

He has the right to think anything he want, as long as he doesn't hurt others
by doing so. By virtue of the power over d-i he wields, and since he is
apparently not able to separate a personal dispute from his d-i
responsabilities, his thoughts in this issue are hurting both me and our
users.

Right. Especially as the main complaint against me seems to be that i am not
respectful enough of him, exact ?

This would be the case if we where facing someone reasonable and honest. But
go look at the wiki patches where i list all my contributions since june or
so, and even so, it if not enough, and my contributions are : "the biggest
load of self-satisfied and self-centered crap [he has] ever seen".

Yeah, fine, and when will i no more be an outcast, and will get back all the
right normally attributed to everyone who is contributing to d-i ?

I will, but i have no access to the box to test it until this WE. The patch is
so trivial you can just as well fix it yourself. I attached the modified
version of the patch with frans suggestion. The original proposal was coming
either from code copied from elsewhere on d-i or from a suggestion from
someone on #debian-boot, i don't remember exactly the details, it is over a
month ago now. Again this would not have happened if frans was more
reasonable, and let people work while he is vacationing all over the world.
