 With the included and fixed script.

 It's the more straight-forward fix, and bash is essential. Let me
remind you again that we are in release stage and any change that
involves deeper changers might very well end up with a reject by the
release team. Being conservative is the way to go currently.

 Well, it's changed in the diff you uploaded.

 You didn't react for months to the initial bugreport pointing out the
printer rom issue. You didn't react for a week when Andreas raised the
RC bug. You started to react on my first mentioning of proposing a NMU
to fix the issue. You now did rush in an upload including even more
changes but didn't fix the release critical bugs.

 Did I miss anything important of the history with respect to the
current situation?

 Solving the bashism and a better solution for the find line in rules
isn't the problem at hands at all. The problems is that Debian ships ROM
images for which it doesn't have any rights, and I'm sorry to sound so
disappointed but you haven't given any response that makes me think you
are interested to get that fixed in a timely manner.

 It wasn't me rushing in an upload that did not touch the real problem
of the package, at all.

 There is no magic involved in how I generated "my" dfsg source. I did
apply nothing less than the patch I sent and run the mangle-source.sh
script. That's all behind it and I would have hoped you to be able to
figure that out as package maintainer, at least Andreas was able to do
it.

 Thanks,
Rhonda
