Hi all,

Just realized made a critical error, i am not subscribed to the list
so please CC me the replies.

@Chris Lamb Should I just point out at the alioth discussion and the
file you pointed out or is there something more you might wanna add.

I just had a look at the upstream's bug-tracker and saw this
https://github.com/tcurdt/jdeb/issues/238 . I am hoping/guessing this
is a different thing than we want, correct ?

Looking forward to know what to share with upstream.
