I already said that very clearly. I merely wanted package maintainers
to consider it as a option. That's all.
That's true, but it sounded more like a 'solution' to the problem, and
that's unfortunately not :(
We should also find a solution for packages, where the maintainers
didn't consider it as a option… Unfortunately this will be the case for
the most of the packages out there.
