Hi Shigio,

Are you aware that Debian is currently frozen for release and has been now
for quite some months?  Now is not the time to be pushing for a major update,
let alone one that changes several options incompatibly with previous releases.

The window for that sort of thing will (hopefully) open again soon, at which
point the major stumbling block becomes something that I know you are aware of,
since we discussed it during the previous merge window ...

I cannot feel comfortable about introducing a new interface for end-users that
requires them to run a freshly generated script, from an unsecured directory,
as root, as part of normal invocation and use, from distro packaged software.

I expressed my concerns about this to you already, and Taisuke Yamada also
proposed some alternatives, all of which you dismissed.

Do you have a new solution for this that might be more acceptable?

If you do I will be glad to consider it for the next release, but so far you
have mentioned nothing further to me about resolving this issue, and you tie
my hands somewhat if you insist this is suitable when it fairly clearly is not.

  Sorry,
  Ron
