Bug#322920: [a-devel] Re: Bug#322920: Please raise severity of x11-common bug
Hi,
This is definitely not a bug of x11-common.
I understand both points of view, and emotionally I rather would follow my
Debian feelings.
It is not possible to check if all Debian packages in the world (outside
Debian) are conflicting with the official Debian package.
In this sense, it is up to the split-off distribution (Ubuntu, Demudi) to
handle the bug and guarantee a smooth upgrade for their thing.
You knew that when you decided to use non-official packages, right ?
On the other hand, it might be a good idea to offer a path back to
Debian for those who went abroad, especially if the problem can be
fixed together with bug #318688.
