It's a merged pull request made by a member. Dunno which release it'd be in. This means people can double-click deb files to install again (with a warning).

I can't believe people construed the lack of this feature in a brand new software as bad Canonical want to kill deb!

Most loud mouth open source enthusiasts are often toxic entitled choosing beggars. If any of their desires are not met, the project is dying or dead even though the statistics say otherwise.

Fork it and fix things you want to make it better?

No way bro. I want someone else to work on the feature I requested one year ago.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
