I would like to added the following to the ballot:

0. decides to override the ftp team decision to remove the
ia32-libs-tools package from the archive, finding insufficient
technical justification to warrant its removal.

5. recommends that in cases where the continuing existance of a
package in the archive does not endanger archive operations,
installations or the Debian project that ftp-master communicates
objective, measurable, technical conditions that will cause a package
to be removed and allow the maintainer to fix the package within a
reasonable timeframe before enacting a removal.


Without 0 I have already lost before the vote even begins. There are
no technical reasons for ia32-libs-tools to not be in Debian so I can
never fix them and never get it back.

My vote would be 0 2 3 4 5 if I had a voice. As there were no reasons
to remove ia32-libs-tools voting 0 and 2 is not contradictory.
