In that case I'll leave it to Sune to explain things, since I can't (and don't want to) understand enough details. > We messed up once, only once. Actually, I don't consider the first problem really a mess-up. It would have been good to be aware of the reverse-dependency, but it's not something I expect of maintainers, except if they have had problems with it before (as seemed to be the case at first), or their package is made for having reverse dependencies (a library, for example). > >> I doubt that any sponsor would catch an issue like this... > > > > I agree that the sponsor isn't to be blamed ;-), unless he sponsored both > > packages and knew about the problems with the first package. > > Which is the other package?

Unless Sune (or anyone else) can come up with convincing arguments why you did misbehave, I'm no longer against you becoming a DM.
