Thanks to both of you for your suggestions, appreciated! I took your version (and only adjusted the «VmWare» with «VMware» to have it more consistent) and push the change to the git repository: https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-security-team/xmount/commit/b4d826744a39b2a50108fae279d877a1bd390e80 The bug will be automatically closed, once we upload a new package version (though we're currently in the buster freeze). Thanks! regards -mika-
