I had the feeling that there were some programs, hallucinations are |
| 24 |
coming, I better get a pause :) |

Well, do you really think that moving some packages and changing their |
| 34 |
names will cause people sending packages? :) |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Instead it will improve the maintenance, look into x11-themes, there are |
| 37 |
one word named packages! (example, what is comix? theme, program, |
| 38 |
cursors package?) |
