Dirk,
I read the emails (and replied to you, I believe)... my question as to whether
tob_0.14-4.deb would be removed from Debian download sights was sincere. Not
being a Debian developer, I have no way of knowing that uploading tob_0.14-5
implies tob_0.14-4 is "gone, vanished, nothing left". That is why I asked.
> Are you happy ?
With tob_0.14-4 no longer available for download, I am happy. If I spend my
time tracking down and reporting a bug that has the potential to wipe out
someones system, and the response I get for doing so if there is a next time
is to "chill out", I will not be happy.

This is good.

Ok, let's consider the issue closed.
