hi andreas

Come on you systematically mentioned that we were not respecting  
package maintainer... Do you want that I really lose
time to go in your emails to show that to you? Of course this should  
be us that do not understand.

I'm not! I think that you over reacted. For once this is not me.
We are just in release candidate 2. We got in Gamma for at least some  
months. So we should stop.
I was just showing to you that your statement that we should not  
publish code in packages that has a maintainer leads to a
deadlock. Because you cannot touch multilnagual and we cannot touch  
graphics.

Not in this email. I was referring to some previous ones but not this  
one. :)

Cool. This is the perfect attitude!
Quite constructive.
