Hi Jeff,
Thank you for your bug report. We're happy that you have found our pants
to your satisfaction, and even happier to know that your system is
stylishly clothed. (Here's one situation where "Free Pants" are clearly
better than "Open Pants"!)
I'm afraid the Debian system doesn't currently provide either a
washing-machine or a launderette package, as our users have historically
preferred to do this kind of thing themselves. You should feel free to
file an "Request For Washing" for this, or even better an "Intent To
Wash" if you work out how the matter-transport family of MIME types
should be packaged within Debian. Alternatively, once you figure it out,
you could write up a HOWTO for the pants-doc package to help other
people who have problems washing their pants in future.
