Yes, I read it. Did you actually read what the email you're replying to? Do you think the RMs wrote and uploaded all those scripts? I think we as a community of maintainers did. If the fact is that there are hundreds of maintainers out there who don't know how to write valid POSIX shell (or change the shebang path to reflect their use of idiosyncracies of a given shell), then the RMs have to make a choice about how long to wait for people to fix their bugs. If you care about this issue enough to write several emails, why don't you just NMU the packages in question? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
