I'm sorry but I'm going to have to nack this for Stretch, as much as I like to
approve transitions and get new stuff in. I have looked at the opened bugs and
I'm afraid this still is too disruptive. I have noticed that you have forwarded
some of them and sent patches, and I appreciate that. We can do this early in
the Buster cycle, so let's look at the status of this and prepare for the
transition when Stretch gets released.
Cheers,
Emilio
