Sometimes you *really* have to do some heavy work to get something to
actually work sanely. I've had to actually enhance upstream C code to
get it to be able to do things in a way that makes it easier to properly
package it. Had to do it for fetchmail, Cyrus IMAPd, amavisd-new...
This is the Debian added-value. We do what it takes to make it sane.
