yeah. great.
2 days ago I wrote: "My plan is to enable amd64 builds with 2.6.18 and I'm
already working on it." "it" being linux 2.6.18
I see you like duplicating efforts...
Bah, upload it. I'll revert my local changes.

One more example of duplicated efforts (already dealt bugs in March and
July) as said before.

I can't understand why do those old bugs need all such attention.
We have 13 fresh new bugs for rootstrap (4 already pending), most of them
with patches or suggested solutions, some also need to be discussed with
submitters or here to implement a proper solution.
We also have umlrun which you uploaded into the repository 4 months ago
but never tried to put in shape for a new upload... (I'd say it's starting
to stink, are you at least interested in it?).
uml-utilites need to add LSB compliance (#385906 + more modifications).
Better documentation is needed for _all_ packages.
