Normally a maintainer just removes such a nasty -- that's what the Debian-specific patches are for. But first you have to find it. Just imagine yourself as a maintainer of (say) 5 packages, 500k lines of code each. In your free time. Getting an update every 2 months each. Do you go with a fine comb over each and every changed line of code each time? That's why our maintainers need help. Just saying "Debian Should" is not enough help :-) Cheers -- t
