I think Kamil put this quite well. Ivan's contributed a lot of volunteer time
for this task and it's not nice to see it turn this way.
For one thing however, KDE developers are a bunch of very friendly coders
(yes, we are, eheh) and I'll make sure we continue debian package maintenance
within the KDE community. I fix build problems and contribute to debian
packaging of a few proggies (kdevelop and I did the gideon packaging)
occasionally besides coding. There are also several other KDE developers who
are using debian systems for coding. If Ivan is still using KDE we could
continue working on KDE CVS together. So that whoever the build guy is in
debian, he can just wrap and go. What matters is that the stuff works for you
people.
Thanks,
