  Hmm you mean I should inform a Maintainer's package for a package
whose last 4 uploads since 2006-10-27 are NMUs ? for a bug that is what,
10 months old ? Heh. It qualifies to the 0-day NMU policy for so many
reasons that well...

  Anyways, nmudiff sent to the bug report, I did that in the first
place, but mistyped bugs.debian.org so it bounced, and you just made me
notice that.

  Sure, I don't consider this bug "fixed" yet, I have to contact people
aware of accessibility issues to know if win32-loader is a proper
replacement for loadlin or not.
