Wow, just when I thought you couldn't be a bigger tool you write this. I've
had great experiences working with Ubuntu developers (who are, quite
simply, often Debian developers and thus part of our little tribe) and I
look forward to more of the same. Maybe the next time you start trying to
do some real work for Debian rather than troll -project you'll find this
out for yourself.
