Re: Bug#653053: ldap2zone: Sending email every hour fill up the mail spool

According to Philipp Kern, the stable release manager, on IRC, he agrees
with your email and we can use your comments as authorative.  Mentioning
it here to make sure the package maintainer is aware of this.

Nothing really, but that patch was the one modifying the lines in
question, so I changed it to use syslog instead of printf.  Do you
believe the patch should be renamed or split in two with different
names?

As explained earlier, I did this to bring the package in line with the
behaviour of the package in unstable.  I also believe it is a good thing
to do, but it isn't important to me nor important for the stability of
the Debian Edu server setup.  Should the change in stable be limited to
only modifying the success output?

I'm happy to provide an updated package with changes the way you want
it, and is very eager to get an updated package in place for the next
release of Debian Edu based on Squeeze. :)
