Leave a (assumed) RC bug open in unstable.  Didn't you tell me that
you are using unstable on production machines? ;-)

Right, but what has this to do with the issue above.  I do not want to keep
bugs open in unstable.

Sounds reasonable.

BTW, what would be your estimated time scale until an unstable upload?

Hmm, I wonder if we have something more interesting to do than
name spelling errors. :)

I do not think that names are appropriate for credit to give. A
    "Many thanks to"
on a prominent place will do better, IMHO

Ahhh what about "Debian/Ubuntu/Google Zope team"?
Do whatever you want - I do not like naming discussions and will stay
away in the future.  May the Ubuntu people themselves decide whether
they feel it necessary or not.  I made my point (and add that I have
not a strong feeling about it) and I will not change my point.  So
feel free to ignore it.

Kind regards

          Andreas.
