A way _not_ to handle bugs

Hi Steve,

first of all, if you downgrade a bug only a good hour after I upgraded 
it, it would be nice if you would:
- Cc me
- send a better explanation than "This is not a missing dependency, feh"

I know that downgrading RC bugs makes your RC bugs metric look better, 
but this bug is a good example why only working on improving a metric is 
a bad thing.

In my testing, e.g. php4 from woody together with php4-mysql from sid is 
_not_ a working combination.

Please either explain why "this is not a missing dependency" or promise 
to be a little more careful in the future instead of blindly downgrading 
bugs.

TIA
Adrian
