Sorry, I lost track of this, was meaning to get into this but got pulled
into something else. I've added it now to my TODO list for stuff do deal
with before 1.17.2 (a release I don't really want to drag much more
than a week or two at most).
Anyway, I've to say that I've found the overall tone in the thread in
debian-devel pretty unpleasant. Lots of things in dpkg might “block”
someone from doing something or might make it more difficult, and those
things might be “critical” for small parts of the project and completely
irrelevant for the rest. Also having every second mail add a slightly
different proposal means one has to reset their mental model every time
and reconsider any new global implications and similar, which might
not help either.
Thanks,
Guillem
