I did *not* at this time suggest others to convert to CDBS - I offered 
to do it myself.  Instead, I did 2 things: a) pointed out a problem, and 
b) offered to solve it.

I did not offer to massage the huge patch, as I dislike that approach.  
And since my proposed alternate solution involved CDBS, I warned about 
this.

At other times I have suggested people to use CDBS for their packaging, 
as part of offering to work together with them on "their" packages.


If CDBS is outlawed in this team, then let's get it over with, instead 
of harrassing me about it.


Kind regards,

  - Jonas
