There are more facts than people know; there are actual reasons that a
release (even a patch release) could not be made in the past for
miscfiles. The details cannot be repeated on a public list,
unfortunately, but I will happily send them to debian developers who
ask me privately.

You're kidding, right?

This whole mess is because you have a secret reason for not releasing a
new package for the last two years?

Sheesh. I'm getting really tired of threads like this.

I've heard the reasons, and I don't see why they apply to anything done
by Debian developers to the Debian archive, although I have yet to hear
back on one point.

If there are issues with the package that prevent it from being
modified, then how could it possibly be considered DFSG-free?
