Sorry for the breakage.  I think the change in uucp's shell was still
basically correct, but it does turn out to require a one-line tweak to
the uucp package.  I filed a patch for this yesterday as #734723, after
searching the archive for potential fallout; I expect to NMU all the
patches I filed in the absence of a maintainer response by sometime next
week.
