Control: tags -1 patch Please find attached a proposal to fix this issue. It is my intention to fix this issue shortly by uploading an NMU if the Sean doesn't step up to fix it. Sean, please let me know either way (if this is fine or if you want to fix it yourself).
For anybody reading this bug report before I upload the fix, I would really appreciate a review of my proposal, so please leave your comments here. Paul
