He could have claimed lack of awareness until it was brought up. After that that excuse no longer holds.

No they could still be just incompetent/negligent rather than malicious. You also forget that they aren't running the translation services, they don't get any data, that's a separate third party you'd have to believe are in on it too. The more important question is if debian is gonna gkick them for it (they should).

		That's a separate third party, with which they can be in cahoots, in fact it may not be that they are 'in on it too', it could well be that they are in fact the originators and sponsors of the way this works. Anyway, regardless of who is the culprit it is clear that the response spells 'wont fix' and that translates (in my book at least, pun intended) into 'works as intended'.
