So you have no idea why the patch you supplied in not sufficient, yet
you're repeatedly laughing at us and pointing how much we're sucking for
not fixing an issue that should have been fixed by your patch, which was
applied? And you still call this “trivial”? I'm very much not following
you here!

Nice to see how you cut off the other part… you know, where one is
supposed to be *contributing* when one wants to see something fixed.

I'm really at a loss for words. It's not like you're a stranger to how
an issue should be dealt with in Debian. I'm not sure why you're
behaving this way…

Maybe that's your way of trying to get someone to do the debugging and
fixing for you. But I can assure you this is not motivating at all,
quite the opposite!
