Hadn't thought of it that way before, but some of these points ring a bell.
I still have a lot to learn about the problems encountered in packaging.
It might be interesting to prepare a guide that could be sent to offending
developers .. if there isn't one already.
I've learned at lot about distro processes in the last few months.
