    No, there haven't any conclusions AFAIK. Perhaps we should insist, and
tell them that we are going to upload if they don't have anything against
that.

    Yes, we should probably one use one method. I have also seen that error,
it's annoying.... but, I wouldn't put that change in ruby-pkg-tools, at least
I wouldn't without doing lots of tests. I would first upload the hobix change,
which is way more important, and then I would try to test the dehs thing as
much as possible, just to be sure...
