Hi Thorsten,

I'm confused about this package being rejected when a number of other
packages constructed in exactly the same manner were accepted in April.
Just a couple examples are [1] and [2], all part of a bootstrapping
effort for SBT [3]. If it helps, Frederic and I were recently
discussing the composition of the packages in [4].  

I believe the packages were accepted by Chris Lamb, although I cannot
find a record of this in the archives. (Is the acceptance of packages in
NEW logged aside from what is visible in the tracker.d.o/news links?)

It would be helpful to get some clarification from the FTP Masters
regarding the guidelines for the bootstrapping of SBT.

Thank you,
tony
