Cool! I was about to ask you to send the conffile patches for review to
the list when I noticed you already did more than one year ago, I had
completely forgotten. :/ I'll be doing the review during this month, but
first I want to take care of some items from my TODO list.
I want to apologize though, for what might have seemed me stone walling
you on this. I lost a great deal of motivation last year due to Debian
itself and due to work, and one consequence was that I dropped the ball
on the conffile stuff (among other things), I've had it (and countless
of other items) in mind as something to be done, but that's not always
enough.
thanks,
guillem
