Isn't it the downstream packager's job to take upstream and configure
it in a usable way for most users? It seems that if the patches
discussed earlier in this thread work, then whining about upstream
attitudes is just an excuse for not applying them.

What I just had read in computer magazin a few days ago was
that lindows uses the debian GPL system to in turn buld up
the commercial lindows OS and not providing they're code to the
community - thus giving offence to the GPL.

No idea how this can be defeated in a long-term way.

Michael - your message was meant as a joke - wasn't it?
