Bugs as grave as this one are not acceptable in Debian packages for extended periods of time. The bug report has been open for over 1 year, I have attached my patch on 2007-11-16. It is marked as critical since 2008-01-16. If you don't want such patches in the Debian package, you need to fix such bugs faster (and comment on patches in bugzilla faster). Of course I understand that this is difficult because there are never enough people to fix bugs (we have the same problem). I admit that I should have followed up on the discussion in February, but I was quite busy and then forgot about it. Cheers, Stefan
