As I understood Gabriele, bsh is dead upstream, so it's actually up to Debian maintainers of bsh and Gabriele to sort that out, I guess. I haven't yet understood how intrusive that patch is, i.e., whether it breaks bsh core functionality or merely extends bsh. Gabriele? bsh maintainers? Best, Michael
