Rick,

Calling it a "spelling mistake" was tongue-in-cheek.

The Debian Project's policy is to remain aloof from this particular fight.

Rather than take this up on debian-user, I invite anyone concerned to write
me directly at Bruce@Pixar.com . I am the decision-maker where this issue is
concerned.
