Does anyone know if it is possible to disable asterisknow-version from writing over my issues file?

Alternatively is it really required to have it as a dependency in asterisk 13? Surly everyone has upgraded from the old repository file system and asterisk 13 wasn’t even on the old file system.

It’s a pain that I can’t use my own repositories to update my asterisk installations when there is a dependency on asterisknow-version. Who do I need to write to to get this decency removed?

Thanks
