Seriously? In https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1077764#368 you say that you could rule on the general statement rather than a specific implementation, then I answer "I'd prefer that if it was possible", and this is how you respond? I've asked multiple times exactly what it is that you need in order to make a decision, and all I get in response are first cryptic and contradicting statements, and then this abrupt dismissal. This seriously feels like something out of Kafka novel.
