Not being notified of a bug fix release is only part of why I'm upset.
The other part is that the bug report and fix have supposedly been
known for some time and nobody forwarded them to me. From a message I
received from Alan Cox earlier today, "I sent it to Bruce a while
ago".
As far as quick response times go, I don't think 24, or even 48, hours
is unreasonable for bugs that have existed for weeks, months or years.
At the very least, the appropriate maintainer should be notified that
a bug fix release is going to made.
BTW, I'm beginning to think that part of this problem was caused by me
getting dropped from some of the Debian mailing lists again. Bruce,
would you please check on this.
