We should first decide whether we want all woody packages to conform to standards-version 3.1.x or not. If that decision we make means we'll have to file 100 or 1000 or 10000 RC bugs, so be it. I don't see the problem with that. I would think it might be worth to consider only allowing new uploads with the latest standards-version. -- Kind regards, +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Bas Zoetekouw | Si l'on sait exactement ce | |--------------------------------| que l'on va faire, a quoi | | zoetekw@phys.uu.nl | bon le faire? | | bas@A-Es2.uu.nl | Pablo Picasso | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
