Is this svn from Chris' or from ATrpms' that is broken?

And does your target audience know that there are no upgrade paths to
future ATrpms packages?

I've made comments both to you and Buzz on lists and in private, I
even reported some bugs you had in your conditionals. The most
important comment one is that you cannot reqrite something for 90%
stylistic preferences and 10% functional/bug parts and expect the
other party to go through every line and compare.

If you want something to get commited try small and confined changes,
and such that add value in a functional/bugfixing way.
