If only it weren't for the fuc*ing users, man... Hi, I still have to meet somebody who actually ever used GNU Interactive Tools. I'd recommend to just conflict with GNU Interactive Tools and be done with it. 1. It's an upstream decision by Linus 2. You are the maintainer of the package. Just take a stand and put the bug reports in wontfix mode. Being a long time Debian maintainer I'd note that in Debian you've got to take ownership to get things done.
