The initial severity could have been such indication.

The part "omitting salutation, citation, and signature" is not true.

I replied, not "finally" but on the same day, to your specific message of
November 2th.

I don't think so.

I'm not sure wether I've read every reply on that list.

DDs have different opinions all the time.

Some readers might argue that I'm reading "verbatim copy" too verbatimly. :-)

It is possible that you have found others agreeing with your view on things.

You seem to have a strong opinion on how I should communicate in Debian. :-)
OK, back to what (in my opinion) matters : You are in the process of fixing bug
689982 in wheezy, so that's covered for now. And, at this point I don't renew
your DM upload permissions for the reason I explained, and other than that it
is possible that you are doing excellent work on the package rkward.
