Thanks.

I agree that I *could* have sent bug reports much earlier, but it disappeared
from my radar one year ago when it was already one year of tranistional
package. I did expect that maintainers pick that up.

I could have reuploaded another round of packages and reintroduce latex-xcolor,
but thought it is good time just after release, when everyone anyway
uploads new packages.

The severity is no sign of rudeness, just plain facts, it FTBFS. There is
nothing I can discuss away.

I have sent bug reports with different severity: those with binary deps
or suggests got important/normal, the ones with build-deps got a serious,
because this is what it is.

Enjoy, and relax


Norbert
