Strange... I too noticed that version 0.7.3-1 introduced a piuparts
error, but the release is pretty much identical to 0.7.2-1, as 0.7.2-1
already contained the only new upstream commit in 0.7.3.
Anyway, would you simply suggest to drop the `u` shell option? I added
it only because I usually do so, but there's no strong motivation
behind it.
Thanks again :)
