let me bump this again, as I have not received a reply. Which one of
these is it going to be?
A. You want the buildd graphs on buildd.debian.org proper. For
that, tell me where I should put it. I’ll happily beef it up to
not special-case the Haskell packages.
B. You don’t want the feature on buildd.debian.org proper, but you
also don’t want to enable ~-dirs. In that case, would mirroring
the wb-database in read-only mode to, say, people.d.o or
alioth.d.o be an option?
C. You simply add that one symbolic link again and reproduce the
status quo of before the grieg breakage.
Note that I do “we are going to ignore you and your work until you give
up” or “we are going to tell you that we don’t want your work to exist
at all” is not an acceptable way to treat contributors in Debian.
With best regards,
Joachim
