Perhaps youc ould have phrased it a bit better the first time :) It
-did- feel a bit like an attack.
I don't know about the others, but my suggestions were meant to be
taken more in the sense of "If you're working on this area and wondering
what people are wanting ...". I know as a developer (and I've worked
on bunches of open-source projects it's often hard to know what the
lusers want because once I've been developing I know the program so
well it's oozing out my ears!

It might well be, and if somebody who's a deb developer had suggested
it then I would have, but nobody did. Is there a "suggestion box"
anywhere? Should there be?
