Package: macchanger
Version: 1.7.0-2
Control: block -1 by 738460

Dear maintainer

Automatic run by macchanger in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/macchanger uses
flag -A (last line).

That flag does *not* change the full serial number, but only the vendor ID.

Please change the flag to use -e or -r.

Some people have been saying that not changing the vendor ID helps you
keep a low profile, since then the vendor ID looks ligitimate, so -e is
not as bad as it seems. -r looks good to me too.

That change requires #738460 to be fixed first, as right now -A is the
only flag left working... :(
