Well.....everything could be done by editing some config file, this doesn't mean this is the best way for end users

False: I use tweakr with italian profile names and it works good (if you mean using latin characters or strange symbols maybe you're right I never used them so I don't know if they work)

as root from a terminal. To unhold it at any future time, do

Code:
echo “alarmed unhold” | dpkg --set-selections
I use alarmed daily and I think it's a very good program (I'm also thinking about donate some money) but the policy to remove support for other programs forcing users to install other tools is not very good IMHO.
Keep up the good work
Bye!
