I concur that renaming the variable is a better solution. It would help other distributions as well. > This doesn't seem suitable for unstable during the freeze, but I'll > upload to experimental.

I don't think an experimental upload is necessary here. Just make sure that you close this bug if you make progress. Doing so will trigger a retest on my end (once it reaches unstable) and I can reopen in case it still doesn't work. Helmut
