OK, all linux distributions are shipping this package. I found that Debian had discussed this too and they accepted it. So, if we object to it, then I need to do some work upstream to fix this. What should I tell them is the basis for us not allowing it when other accept it? I'm not opposed to your recommendation, I just want to be able to state out position, that's all.
