Ok, this bitter answer demonstrates that you don't know how things work here
(at leat in debian KDE). To put it straight, there's not enought people and
not enought time. If you are willing to volunteer, you are very much welcome.
I'm also a user and try to help as much as I can, fixing bugs, dealing with
the BTS and such.

Hervé, this is a "job" done in our spare time. You know, we all study/work and
usually have some other life to attend, as you might have as well. So be a
little bit more understanding.

Sometimes, what you think it's going to take little time, is in fact a very
time consuming task. Some other time, there's so many bugs one can't deal
with them all, etc.

Sometimes, we didn't do this. We just felt obliged to help because nobody else
do it.

ok, get a job, get a life and then offer your help to debian and you'll
discover :-)

Ok, I'll try to do it later. All I can say for now is that Adeodato (and the
rest of people) is doing a terrific work for debian kde and do not deserve
this bitter answer. Looking at the mailing list should have shown you this :)
