I've forwarded 4 bugs to DRBD that are still in need of feedback from
you:

None of them are about `debian/rules'.

All of them have been sent several months ago and I'm still waiting to
receive feedback from you.

This debian/ directory is not part of Debian, this is not official and
not even included in the DRBD tarballs.

We are not using it in the official distribution as I've said many
many times on the mailing list. I've adviced you to remove it from
svn, it thought it was already removed a long time ago.

This is the normal way to make Debian packages, we take upstream
tarballs and we patch them to add our debian/ subdir. If we have to
patch something outside debian/, we contribute our patches to
upstream. If something outside debian/ is buggy, we forward our bugs
to upstream.

Anyone can contribute to the official Detail packages, please follow
the instructions at http://bugs.debian.org/

I'll be glad to receive feedback from anyone about our (my?) Debian
packages.

And give me feedback.

Thanks
