To further what Marc said, I think that upstream made the correct decision =
in=20
this case.  I consider double-click to be the setting desired and expected =
by=20
the majority of users.  For the minority of users who prefer something=20
different, it is easy for them to change it.

Perhaps we could have a different discussion if the default that upstream h=
ad=20
selected was not in the best interest of the majority of users.  But in thi=
s=20
case, I think upstream=E2=80=99s decision was correct and not modifying the=
 upstream=20
behavior in Debian is also correct.
