Unfortunately, both have stepped away from an active leadership role in
the Debian Project.  Given how the current DPL opted to stay out of this
issue if possible, would Bruce or Bdale have acted differently?  I don't
know.

I do not take my position merely because I am a licensed radio amateur
and therefore have sympathy toward the amateur radio related packages.
Rather, it seems to me that the onus should be on *new* packages to play
nicely with existing packages in any distribution, particulary ones that
are actively maintained.  In this case maintained refers to the Debian
maintainer keeping the package abreast of upstream and current with
Debian changes.
