Fine.

Would I get some support from people in this list if I submit the
following bug?:

*----------------------
Package: ftp.debian.org
Version: slink
Severity: important

I can't install all the optional packages, because a lot of conflicts.
*----------------------

Bugs in the override file should be even easier to squash (no need to
recompile anything).

Have the ftp.debian.org maintainers tried to install everything?

Last time I tried I obtained a lot of conflicts, so I only reported a
few of them. Do they plan to do an official dependency check for the
optional packages?

Thanks.
