Bug#752545: Fix committed

[Thorsten Glaser]

Mattia Rizzolo dixit:

>Meh, unpolite...

Well yes… though whatever goes for polite in Debian these days
is enough to keep me off the thought of actually unretiring…

True. It’s still a no-go to change format, helper used, etc.
in a “mere NMU”.

I am *so* glad to hear that! Given how much attention pbuilder
has gotten vs. needs, I’d be happy if you could comaintain it,
take it over, or even hijack. I was merely pointing out that
NMUs usually do have their limits.

Thanks.

                    ^^^^^^
That is not a mailserver. That is actually the problem here.
They do not follow internet eMail protocols. I have given up
on them.

Meh I use cowbuilder, so pbuilder is only part of the stack…
but I PTS-subscribed to the package, so I get lots of mails.
Maybe I should indeed subscribe to this mailing list too…
thanks for the heads-up!
