Guys, IMHO you really need to stop ranting contentlessly.  Either you
reply to the technical arguments in favor of the change that have been
made (e.g. by Russ Allbery in this thread, to which you carefully
avoided to reply thus far), and roll-up your sleeves to help fixing what
is broken, or you shut up.

If that's asking too much, please at least understand that messages like
the ones I've quoted above don't add anything to the discussion, and
will just piss off people, reducing in general the willingness to
contribute to Debian. Is that what you want?

Finally, I remind you that in Debian in general package maintainers are
free to take technical choices for the package they maintain; if you
really think the choice is wrong, you should try to convince him that it
is the case. To that end, mails like the above surely don't help.

Thank you for your understanding,
Cheers.
