I guess I will have to use a backport of "rdiff-backup" in this case, to
temporarily keep accessing my backup data. Long-term, using an obsolete
development snapshot of backup software is not a credible solution.
I realize that Debian maintenance is volunteer-driven and somewhat
decentralized, and I do appreciate Debian in general. But -- after this
mistake by Debian on stable that affects data backups, and being stuck
with stopgap remedies for a year with no sign of action towards a better
solution -- I can no longer recommend Debian for server use.
