Great!

Last I heard from you was when you replied to a post I made, where I
essentially wrote the same as I did a moment ago: Engage in bugtracking.

Back then I did not answer your question, because I found it so obvious
that what I had just written to someone else on this same mailinglist
applied to you as well.

I apologize if that was for some reason not obvious.  It was not my
intention to ignore you - I just felt somewhat ignored myself.


> In my personal interest, I would like to see a backport

When I search my email archive for your name, you have mostly posted
about your giving up on making Debian packages work and instead using
upstream-provided sources built against stable Debian environments.

So please, don't repeat that, I know already that you like that option.
Let me instead repeat, that Debian is what Debian is - something that
aims for stability. ALL PARTS OF DEBIAN aims for stability. Not only
whatever else besides the part you are personally excited about. ALL!

You are very welcome to join the effort of Debian. Of stabilizing.
I find it an exciting work - but some find it boring - that's ok.

There are also efforts *around* Debian, including some on doing
backporting.  But the task we do here, first and foremost, before loking
into those other more fringe tasks, is that of stability.

Looking forward to working with you,

 - Jonas
