Sorry for the damage caused by my message about the package being "sexist". I just wished to point out this to you, since I very well know that, in order to get packages accepted in Debian, the package name must be well-formed. Just take the case of my package gnome-media-player. I submitted the RFS two months ago, and got a large number of replies, everyone saying "How can you use this package name? It is *not* the official GNOME's Media Player (Totem Is) and so you should change the package name." No one ever seemed to care even after I said that the package is already in Ubuntu ( proof at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media-player ). I was finally forced to get the package into Ubuntu and give up Debian (the upstream advised this). If package names matter so much, then I felt like this package might also not get accepted into the archives. Sorry for being harsh in my comments. Will take care of it from next time onwards.
