If there was a reason for this easy to fix RC bug not being fixed, you
should have sent it to the bug.

You'll need to explain why gnome-games needs -Wl,--as-needed and
shouldn't be included in etch without it before I'll consider my NMU
as incorrect.  (but correct as far as I knew when I made it.)

binutils doesn't have any easy to fix RC bugs that have been sitting
with no action for weeks.  (or any other RC bugs)

With Microsoft, failure is not an option.  It is a standard feature.
