[OT]Sure, as shipping busybox binary via a fake .deb replacing file by mv is a proper way to distribute it (but only possible if CSSU is excluded), and doesn't qualify for CSSU mantra of "system packages, that can't be provided by other means". Following your philosophy, whole cssu could be provided via extras packages that do binary replacement

Last time I checked, iDont was interested in having busybox-power in CSSU, but ridicolous, argument-less reaction of "some" busybox-power hater on IRC, who have big influence in CSSU maintainership, + idiotic ideas like having iDont to split busybox-power into two packages (one castrated for CSSU and one normal), for no sane reason, made him wave hand and remain in extras. Not everyone have time for hours of useless discussions on IRC (or IRC as a whole, which is huge time sink).

Sure, you observations may wary, but judging from ade's impression and iDont posts in bb-p thread, CSSU maintainers haven't provided a friendly welcome to those two guys.

And what kind of argument is that cssu-extras? camera-ui replacement which don't even try to fully mimic stock-camera-ui can be in CSSU, and ade's "almost mirror" work can't? Suuure, it isn't because Nicolai was/is considered core CSSU team member, and ade isn't.

What a hypocrisy...
[OT]

[half-OT]Maybe, to avoid polluting this productive thread, separate topic about cssu maintainership and murky inclusion rules should be created?[/half-OT]
