Digging into bugzilla & finding this mail at the same time.

Stephen is right : 2 ways to fix it :
* the easiest : don't delete if there is an issue & don't warn the user 
either (this one requires only a checking in C4/Biblio.pm before 
deleting the item)
* the easy : set the deletion button only if there is no issues (and 
reserve, the problem is probably the same). this one requires some code 
in perl + minor modifs in template (a TMPL_IF)
* the best : warn the user and ask him if he prefers the deletion with 
auto-return & removal of reserves, or cancel the deletion. This last 
requiring a new screen.

PS : about the chain in the server room, remember we will be 5 from 
france and you are only 3 :-D I'll also get a chain-cutter with me. 
Oups, would be a bad idea, I could be caught as a terrorist ;-) )
