People can fix them, or not, depending on circumstances.
OK, so basically what you're saying is you won't object to me filing reports against packages that use echo -e/escape codes in #!/bin/sh scripts. In that case, I hope that by the time we do the next release after potato, we will have got rid of all -e/escape codes in Debian. PS Here are a few packages that use -e/escape codes in #!/bin/sh scripts: bison, debianutils, dpkg, kbd, libc6, login, util-linux. I found these just by grepping pre*/post* scripts. -- Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 is out!
