That code is now in Debian (experimental), so yes, I do expect you to act in
good faith and report bugs you see. You are obviously quite versed in how
'global' works, and that's undoubtedly valuable to produce the best possible
'global' package.

It doesn't: it shouldn't take 3 stable releases to get a new upstream release
for a leaf package.

By "(very) long discussion", do you mean these 8 mails ?

As far as I could see, this is the only thread in all of bug-global's (public)
history in which you contributed, hence your only public input to upstream
about how >> 5.7.1 versions have problems in your opinion.
Is there another public bug tracker somewhere that I missed?
Did you have other conversations with upstream? If so, where can we find them?

Fair enough. Sorry for assuming the breakage was in from 6.0 on.
I'm purposedly not answering to the rest of your email, as I think the TC now
has enough information to issue a decision.
