thanks

Manoj, this bug was not a proposal to be accepted or rejected.

I reassigned this bug to debian-policy because of a disagreement between
the maintainer and the submitter, following Ian Jackson's recommended
procedure about disagreements in bugs reports.

The maintainer should explain the reason why he closed the bug (he never
did it). It could be that he does not think it is a bug or it could be
that he does not want to fix it (what it seems according to the mail in
which he closed the bug), but he never fully clarified this.

If he thinks it is not a bug he should explain why.
Until then I will continue to consider it as a bug.

Thanks.
