apt and pdiff files

[staticd]

Is this and EWONTFIX or a EBUSY? it will be nice if responses to queries
clearly distinguish between the two. ;)

It is kinda disheartening to new enthusiasts and developers when we say
"it's only that we are too busy" or "write it yourself and come back" and
then do an about face and say
"no we never planned on implementing it for reasons technical, aesthetic or
political.. we just told you the fib about the developer time hoping you
would go away... please don't feel bad"

:D

And this *is* the devel discuss list. We need to be able to give clear "we
are waiting for someone to write code" or "go away. we decided not to
implement that" answer one way or another.
