Hi Isaku,

Thanks for explaining this! Finally, it makes sense.

Indeed, there's no Ryu package in Debian. That's unfortunate, because at
this stage, it will *not* be able to make it into Debian Wheezy.

Now, I have to ask what the release team thinks about this. Should we
keep the ryu pluggin package in Debian, but disable the init script by
default, and explain the situation? Or simply remove all Ryu support?

Isaku, I'd be very happy to help you to get your Ryu package in Debian
(for the moment, it will be only Debian experimental, since Wheezy is
frozen). Note that the situation seem to be the same in Ubuntu (and why
they didn't package and Depends: on Ryu is astonishing!).

Cheers,

Thomas
