No worries. I wasn't offended, I'm aware that many people are not aware
of the rule or it's reasons.
We don't make exceptions for the French. Being born in France is not a

Again, no worries. The suggestion (which is what my comment were meant
to be) were intended to help you find a solution.

IMO, anyone who takes the time to use Debian and is willing to keep
trying Debian when something doesn't "work out of the box" is a valuable

that makes Open Source a superior development model.

Maybe if you post the details of the first bug report here we could have
a look at it (tomorrow night).

P.S. Though you mailed me and CCed the list, I've not emailed you. If
you wish a CC just ask
