What i meant was that there are people in debian that moan and groan
about ubuntu not asking them about their packages, so the original post
was semi-justified because of that. i didn't mean that anything that
might interest the people on the list is fair game.

I was not trying to change the subject. At the time your response looked
like it was triggered by the name Ubuntu, which is not that uncommon on
the lists. Personally i didn't see it as a press release, it was an
informational mail directed at debian developers.
IMHO, the original post was semi-justified, your post was not.

I'm not saying that this is the official stand from either side. I keep
an eye on both lists and this is the picture that comes out. I would
assume that i'm not the only one that gets this picture just by reading
the lists.
