Thats very sad.:(
Why not closing them when uploading?
Thats the idea behind the wishlist new upstream bugs in general.
I check pkg-gnome and debian-gtk-gnome@, what is the plan/idea behind
the patitial uploads of 2.16 to sid and because there where no info
(today Josselin wrote an info) I wrote the wishlist reports.
Closing them without fixing them is sad.:(
There is the real reason, you request, to have 2.16 packages. It would
be enough to have them in experimental but there aren't all in
experimental.
Go ahead creating your own rules for closing bugs.:(
