Huh ? What has this to do with this ? Andreas told us on irc that he knew of
several serious reasons why we should not merge the .udebs into the linux-2.6
package. I am just asking that he don't keep those reasons secret, but tell
them to us here.

Is that also too much to ask ?

Well, i am seriously interested in knowing what reservations Andreas had, that
he mentioned on irc, and have asked him now a couple of times to state them. I
believe that this information he has and seems unwilling to share for some
obscure reason, do indeed belong to this thread.

As for d-i. Well, the d-i team doesn't exist for me anymore, so i am going to
ignore them for any discussion or flame or whatever. Andreas is not part of
the d-i team though, and he said he had reservation about the plan to merge
the .udebs, and ... Well, i am repeating myself.

As for mediation, i believe there is no mediation possible. I asked the DPL to
mediate on this, and the result was a joke. I mean, go read it on debian-boot
if you are interested, but i will no more lose time with those people.

Cool.
