yeah, I'm aware of that.  I'm subscribed to d-d, and I've been quite
shocked to see how nobody actually cared of the starting issue, and the
thread quickly diverged towards more abstract, just plain academic
goals that are quite clear to everybody are not going to be perfectly
achived anytime soon.

I'm sorry if I conveyed the idea that I didn't get the problem, or some
more wild idea like implying you didn't care or something…. I've read
#833493 (besides, I'm subscribed to d-med-packaging@, so I received
it too) and understand the issue and how packaging lemon is going to at
least make possible to fix this, and how that is blocked on nonsense in
d-d at ...

I just wanted to make you well aware of the current situation around
this bug outside this particular package, nothing more :)

meaning I prodded Thorsten out of d-d to either process the package
again after the small flame in d-d, or at least tell us what he expects
from us.
