That's part of the defintion of "maintainer" :-) It doesn't hurt to listen to users, but if no one comments you can do whatever you want with it. But I'm only acting as kind of a webmaster, Mauro creates the accounts. So we have to wait for him to respond. > I guess the question now becomes 'who okay's this change?

Once that is answered we can go from > there ;) I guess you could ask the maintainer of the dvb-apps package of your favourite distribution for opinions, and also check which other packages depend on dvb-apps.
