Why on earth? Would you mind suggesting a change to the packaging guidelines
and documenting this breakage in release notes, then?
It should be clear without saying that it's never acceptable to intentionally
break things "just for fun" [0]. Or is there a solid reason that I'm missing
which necessitates breaking things by "adjusting vendor"?
[0] This is targeted at your comment above; I'm not assuming that the change
in gnokii was done with the intent of breaking things, but rather was not
just thought all the way through.
