wow - wtf.
I'll keep my comments here structured:
1) I believe Jonathan is very very hasty on making NMUs
a) whilst true that NMUs today are seen very much with a nicer eye than
in the past, it's still considered not something to do lightly, not
even when somebody is on the LowNMU list or the package is in
collab-maint
b) also, upload an NMU the day after saying he has a patch and 3 days
after the original bug report is totally hasty, no matter the delay
c) and usually as soon as the maintainer replies to a bug all the
intentions to NMU drops in favour of a team upload (unless the
maintainer asks for a NMU, as it often happens)
2) I totally don't understand what's Herbert's problem with the
proposal, providing /usr/bin/duc from both the regular and -nox
package sounds a very nice idea to me
Summary: please just stop meta-discussing whether or not a NMU was the
appropriate action to take, and start discussing the actual bug, with
neither party being so stubborn as it looks from my side.
