I understand that the packagers are under a lot of pressure, but why does
everybody who just asks something remotely related to the packaging get
flamed at once? Not even reading my message totally (although it wasn't
that long) and just telling me to shut up and read the mailinglist really
didn't feel nice. And the answer- that there were some
compilation-problems came some days afterwards in reply to another
question.
