Bug#905750: RFS: elpy/1.23.0-1
[Not prematurely sending mail this time]
Nicholas,
Alas I wrote before, whilst I appreciate the sentiment, please spend any
limited time you have for Debian work writing such things in suitable
venue(s) and not in an adjunct sponsorship bug. Otherwise I fear the
effort expended in such a voluminous and detailed response will be in
vain.

Please strive to be Lintian clean not fuss about "warning" about
"informational" which are not subject to strict scrutinity and
classification by the Lintian maintainers as you seem to infer.

This is a topic for elsewhere.

?? I was talking about -n, not -9. Nothing to do with 4k limits but
rather reproducibly.

Likely #2 or something similar. https://bugs.debian.org/826158?
But again, this is really the wrong venue for these 4/5 topics as it will
quickly get lost..
