Steve and Lars, please do not take it personally, but I would like to remind
the following email posted in April this year:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/04/msg00527.html
"Steve, my co-driver, says he has a couple of issues he wants to fix
before we are finished with DEP5. He'll write patches and submit them
for discussion about next weekend or so."
I do not know how to write this diplomatically, and my request to have my patch
applied was a clumsy way to re-open the discussion without mentionning the
above email, but if 1) the only changes before the DEP is accepted are Steve's
changes, and 2) the DEP can not be accepted before Steve changes it, then Steve
please submit your patches and let's go ahead ?
Cheers,
