Why are you discussing this in the -dev ML since there is already an |
| 27 |
open bug about this? This is clearly a problem(if any) with the zlib |
| 28 |
packages + maintainer. We ( as individual devs ) can't do much. If you |
| 29 |
want to push this further, I'd suggest you to CC qa@ on the bug or |
| 30 |
contact them directly. |
