But Debian uses it where appropriate:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ldd /usr/bin/sftp
libresolv.so.2 => /lib/i686/cmov/libresolv.so.2 (0xb7f33000)
libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
(0xb7df2000)
libutil.so.1 => /lib/i686/cmov/libutil.so.1 (0xb7ded000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7dd8000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/i686/cmov/libnsl.so.1 (0xb7dc0000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/i686/cmov/libcrypt.so.1 (0xb7d92000)
libgssapi_krb5.so.2 => /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2 (0xb7d6a000)
libkrb5.so.3 => /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.3 (0xb7ce3000)
libk5crypto.so.3 => /usr/lib/libk5crypto.so.3 (0xb7cbd000)
libcom_err.so.2 => /lib/libcom_err.so.2 (0xb7cba000)
libedit.so.2 => /usr/lib/libedit.so.2 (0xb7c9f000)
libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0xb7c5c000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7b15000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb7b11000)
libkrb5support.so.0 => /usr/lib/libkrb5support.so.0 (0xb7b08000)
libkeyutils.so.1 => /lib/libkeyutils.so.1 (0xb7b05000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f54000)
So, why not list it where it works (post-6.3), not list it where it is
untested, and add a note where it breaks stuff?
