Er. I've actually *worked* on the installer. Not as much as I'd like,
but sure as hell more than you.

Not a lie; at most, a statement that wasn't clear enough so that you'd
understand what I meant.

Are you claiming that no development is happening on Debian at all?

Any kind of change could have occurred in the mean time, and there's no
way that Christian (or, in fact, anyone) can know all of them by heart.

I do not need to be 'explained' what the difference is between two
flavours of software *that I've worked on* by a person who hasn't and

No, it's yours.

Listmasters: please take appropriate action regarding this user. He's
been extremely abusive to multiple developers, does not want to listen
to reason, has shown repeated proofs of arrogance and a superiority
complex, and is in general disruptive to normal discussion on the list.
